Lexus Launches 'CT 200h' in Japan


Lexus announces the launch in Japan today of the hybrid-only "CT 200h1", its first entry in the premium-compact segment. 


Paving the way for a new Lexus era, the CT 200h is a five-door hatchback combining the vitality of agile driving with advanced environmental performance and dynamic, sporty styling to create an experience that excites and motivates both drivers and passengers.

Its high level of body rigidity, supported by performance dampers, a newly developed suspension and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for driver control achieves both agile handling and riding comfort. The Drive Mode Select feature allows drivers to switch between different acceleration and steering sensitivities and gauge displays as wanted. Class-leading fuel efficiency of 34 km/L is also attained through effective harnessing of a 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle combustion engine5 and Lexus Hybrid Drive technology.

Furthermore, keeping vehicle height low emphasizes the vehicle's low center of gravity, lending to a silhouette suggesting dynamic movement.
