A great city car should feel like it was designed by the city itself: versatile, smart and stylish. Steeply-rising shoulder lines converging at the front enhance the agile Matiz’s spirited character, while its friendly smile is always there to greet you for your ride into town.

Five doors and generous headroom give easy access to a welcomingly roomy interior, given a contemporary, balanced look thanks to an uncluttered centre console and colour-co-ordinated trim and instrument cluster. And with its subtly raised seating, clever storage options, generous boot space enhanced by flat-folding seats, comprehensive safety features and automatic or manual gear options the Matiz really is your reliable companion around town, loaded with smart solutions for urban driving – but without the big city price tag.
