In 2011 Lexus introduced the CT hybrid to the market as a premium alternative to the Toyota Prius with which the CT shares a platform and engine. Being a hybrid, the CT is aimed at the eco-conscious among us and since there were very few sold locally, residual values are low, making them a bit of a bargain for those in the market for a vehicle of this type.
1.Lexus CT200H test drive: make sure to check these features out.
“While driving the car you may want to take note of the ride quality as the CT has received some reviews about its ride being too firm. Since the CT is an urban-focused car, it is fairly small and the CVT hybrid will only run on battery power at crawling speeds. It also isn’t really a “hot hatch”. Lexus later adjusted the springs and fitted a new anti-roll bar which didn’t help its case much. According to some, it also has a really heavy steering.” Farzana takes us through what you should check for when test driving a CT.

” The series hybrid was for many, the first foray into electric power in a motor vehicle. That's right, the Toyota Prius is probably the most popular example of a series hybrid.” Chad takes us through the key differences between an all-electric car and a hybrid and manages to reference the CT as an example of a hybrid.
4.Lexus freshens up its range for summer
“First up is the Lexus CT 200h. Although this is the most affordable model in the Lexus range, the CT is very well endowed and, in its latest guise, boasts even more kit. The revised luxury hatch now features a reverse camera, cruise control, Lexus display audio with 10-speaker sound (replacing the small-screen, six-speaker system), rotary-style Lexus Remote Touch (EMVN) controller and rain-sensing wipers” The team takes us through the changes made to the CT as the updated model was introduced in 2014.
