The Hyundai Lavita was a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai, from 2001 to 2010. It was also marketed as the Hyundai Matrix in Europe and Southeast Asia, and as the Hyundai Elantra LaVita in Australia. It was mechanically related to the Hyundai Elantra (XD) and was designed by the Italian company Pininfarina. In late 2010, it was replaced by the ix20.

The Lavita is a five-door five-seater hatchback and is available in 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8-litre petrol engines. The 1.8 has a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 11.3 seconds. In Europe there are versions also available with turbo diesel engines.

In Malaysia, the Lavita was locally assembled as the Inokom Matrix, which is available in both 1.6L & 1.8L petrol engine options.

Hyundai facelifted the model in 2005. For 2008, Hyundai unveiled a second facelifted version at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. It has undergone major changes to the front fascia, similar in style to the first generation i30. New wheels are also part of the slew of changes. The C-pillar window kink has been eliminated. Minor changes have also been made to the interior.
