2015 Lexus CT 200h Base 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Hatchback

Overview

The CT 200h joined the Lexus lineup in 2011 as its fifth hybrid vehicle. This five-passenger premium compact offers both a performance-oriented driving experience and the functionality of a rear liftgate, as well as excellent fuel economy and low emissions. The front-wheel drive CT 200h employs a full hybrid powertrain technology that unites a 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine with a powerful electric drive motor, generating 134 combined horsepower. This hybrid system is mated to a continuously variable transmission (ECVT) with four selectable drive modes - Normal, Sport, ECO and EV (electric only). Every CT 200h is outfitted with a comprehensive list of standard features, including: a power moonroof, 17-inch aluminum wheels, LED daytime running lights, Smart Key passive entry with push-button start, NuLuxe upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, satellite radio and a USB port, along with Bluetooth wireless connectivity and audio streaming. Available options include upgraded Lexus Display Audio, HD radio, navigation system with Lexus Enform and App Suite, LED headlamps/fog lights, heated front seats, leather upholstery, and the distinctive F SPORT package. Standard safety technologies include anti-lock brakes with brake assist, vehicle stability and traction control systems, a security alarm and tire pressure monitoring, as well as eight airbags and Lexus Safety Connect. The CT 200h also employs a Vehicle Proximity Notification System that emits an audible warning to pedestrians when the vehicle is traveling at low speeds. Other advanced features, including Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Pre-Collision System, Intuitive Parking Assist and a backup camera with dynamic gridlines, are also offered. Hybrid-related components are backed by an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty. Following a refresh last year, the Lexus CT 200h carries over unchanged for 2015.
