2011 Lexus CT 200h Review
Fuel Economy and Low emissions, but no compromise in luxury and driving pleasure: Lexus’s sporty new CT 200h is expected to deliver CO2 emissions of just 96g/km*. Thanks to the exceptional efficiency of its full hybrid powertrain, the all-new hatchback outperforms all its similarly powered small luxury car rivals, none of which comes close to achieving a sub-100g/km figure.
At the same time, the CT 200h marks no compromise in Lexus’s hallmark standards of luxury, quality and comfort. More than that, this is a car that has been designed and engineered from the outset for a sporty, rewarding drive.
2011 Lexus CT 200h Interior View
Unlike conventional diesel engines, the latest generation Lexus Hybrid Drive which powers the CT 200h produces near-zero levels of NOx and particulates. Preliminary fuel consumption figures further strengthen the car’s clean and efficient profile, with an anticipated 68.9mpg* in combined cycle driving. Lower fuel bills, a Band A classification for Vehicle Excise Duty giving a zero road tax charge and a company car tax benefit-in-kind of just 10 per cent combine to give the car a compelling cost of ownership profile. The CT 200h is built on a new platform which benefits from a series of exclusively developed body, chassis and powertrain control systems. Drivers are given the choice of Dynamic and Relaxing driving moods, via four selectable modes for the full hybrid system: Normal, Eco and EV (electric vehicle), plus a Sport setting that adjusts certain performance parameters for a more engaging drive.
