The HYUNDAI MATRIX (2001-08) 5DR MPV 1.8 121 CDX is a compact, five-door people carrier, offering a taller, roomier alternative to a conventional family hatchback without the bulk of a large MPV. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers seeking practical space on a modest budget. mycarcheck.com has recorded 40 look-ups covering 30 different VINs, a useful snapshot, though not a measure of every Matrix on the road. Those checks show an average recorded mileage of 83,000 and around 4,000 miles driven annually; vehicles had about three previous keepers on average. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £200, so treat it as a historic check-data figure, not a current asking-price guide. The 1.8-litre CDX is the more powerful, well-equipped choice in the range, making everyday family trips and carrying bulky shopping easier. Compared with small hatchbacks, its cabin flexibility stands out; consider its age and condition carefully when buying.
