Hyundai Lavita

The Hyundai Lavita is a multi-purpose vehicle that Hyundai produced from 2001 to 2010, sold as the Hyundai Matrix in Europe and Southeast Asia and as the Hyundai Elantra LaVita in Australia. It was mechanically related to the Elantra (XD). Sales commenced in August 2001 and continued until the end of 2010, when the ix20 replaced it. It is a five-door, five-seater hatchback with 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 litre petrol engines, the 1.8 reaching a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h) and 0 to 60 mph in 11.3 seconds, and turbo diesel versions were offered in Europe from September 2001. In Malaysia it was assembled locally as the Inokom Matrix. Hyundai facelifted the model in 2005, and a second facelift shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008 changed the front fascia to resemble the first-generation i30 and removed the kink in the C pillar window.
