The Lexus CT 200h marks the Japanese brand's entry into the premium compact segment with hybrid powertrains, ensuring a remarkable balance between fuel economy and the Lexus luxury experience.
Lexus CT 200h: premium hybrid hatchback, ideal for the city and efficient on the long road
The model is based on a hybrid system consisting of a 1.8-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor with immediate response, which offers a quiet ride and low emissions in urban environments.
The e-CVT transmission has been optimized to allow smooth transitions between propulsion sources, thus providing a linear and relaxing feeling at the wheel. The compact body structure and front-axle drive provide excellent maneuverability, ideal for busy traffic, but also for extra-urban roads.
At the same time, the rear torsion bar suspension and the front MacPherson strut suspension ensure the right balance between ride comfort and cornering stability. Even though the CT 200h emphasizes efficiency, intelligent engine settings reveal dynamic resources when extra liveliness is desired, especially in Sport mode.
Premium interior and intelligent hybrid technology
The cabin enjoys premium quality materials, well-profiled seats and a driver-oriented design, elements that make every journey relaxing and enjoyable. The central screen displays information about energy flow and consumption, and the infotainment system integrates navigation functions, Bluetooth connectivity and a high-performance audio system.
Lexus has also emphasized safety technologies, from traction and stability control to advanced pedestrian protection systems, designed to provide confidence in any situation. Aesthetically, the body lines suggest a sophisticated and modern style.
The distinctive front grille, together with LED optical blocks, gives a dynamic touch, without compromising the overall refinement. The CT 200h's compact dimensions make it easy to park and maneuver, while still being spacious enough for four passengers and luggage for urban commuting or short getaways.
The Lexus CT 200h is aimed at those who want an efficient, environmentally friendly and refined car, capable of offering a premium experience, even within a segment where economy and small dimensions are priorities.
