2013 Lexus CT200h Base Hatchback 4-Door 1.8L

The CT 200h’s size, ackaging, ull hybrid technology and ultra-low emissions perfectly meet the requirements of a young, ighly discerning, nvironmentally conscientious customer. Yet it offers no compromise on the refinement and driving pleasure which hallmark the progressive luxury inherent in every Lexus.
The CT 200h boasts remarkably low fuel consumption and has an impressive combined EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 42 mpg, 3 mpg city and 40 mpg on the highway using regular 87-octane gasoline. Moreover, he CT 200h can be operated under certain conditions, n a driver selectable EV mode which generates zero emissions.
The CT employs an exhaust heat recovery system that captures the heat of spent exhaust gases to speed engine coolant warm-up and allows the hybrid system to stop the engine earlier and more often in the driving cycle when it’s not needed, or example in low power demand conditions in city driving.
The CT 200h pairs an electric drive motor to generate a total system output of 134 horsepower. A second motor in the hybrid system serves as both engine starter and generator to charge the hybrid battery pack.
For a fun-to-drive experience, he CT 200h also incorporates a drive-mode selector that allows the driver to toggle between four distinct modes: Normal, port, co or EV. Normal mode has an essentially linear throttle response that gives naturally progressive power. Sport mode can be selected when the driver wants a more dynamic experience. In Eco mode, ir conditioning settings are adjusted and the throttle response is reduced relative to the pedal angle to emphasize fuel economy. Under certain circumstances, he EV mode can allow the vehicle to be driven short distances using only the electric motors.
