Getting to know more about CT

Hello there, it's me! Now, I've visited Lexus of Bellevue to check out more about the all new Lexus CT 200h, the Japanese luxury brand's first 5-door hybrid hatchback that shows the darker side of green.


What they have here is the base model. Expect no remote touch, no flip-up monitor, nothing. Except for the USB connectivity! Now, let's think about this front view. At first glance, the front view will take a bold new step on Lexus' L-Finesse design philosophy. The CT200h is designed to be more European.


The side view is pretty much more elegant if you asked me.


The rear view looks sophisticated


The real action takes place on the interior. The seats are far too comfortable if you asked me.


This is the audio system.


Time to turn this on and let's get the party started!


This is how a tachometer looks like.


This is how a tachometer looks like when placed to Sport Mode.


Selecting which mode depends on road conditions. If you're up for some fuel economy, switch to Eco Mode. If you're up for some piece of action, switch to Sport Mode. The EV mode switches on the 60kW electric motor engine only for some low emission driving. Needless to say, the Lexus CT200h is one heck of the overpriced Prius but not in that way because of the Drive Mode Select. Eco Mode for fuel economy and Sport Mode for performance. Hybrid owners, consider yourselves doomed.
