2012 Lexus CT 200h

As Lexus continues to dominate the luxury hybrid market, the CT 200h premium hybrid demonstrates the brand's commitment to unparalleled quality, sophistication and technology.

The 2012 CT features a new Vehicle Proximity Notification System that alerts pedestrians of the oncoming vehicle by emitting a low audible warning sound. In addition, it brings one new exterior color as Nebula Gray Pearl replaces Smoky Granite Mica for 2012.

The CT 200h boasts remarkably low fuel consumption and has an impressive combined EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 43 mpg city and 40 mpg on the highway utilizing regular 87-octane gasoline. Moreover, the CT 200h can be operated in a switchable EV mode which generates zero emissions.

The CT 200h's Lexus Hybrid Drive features a unique energy management system paired with a four-cylinder gas engine. Through the application of brand-specific engineering solutions and software tuning, Lexus engineers focused on enhancing both the environmental and driving performance of the full hybrid series/parallel system.

The CT 200h incorporates a drive-mode selector that allows the driver to toggle between four distinct modes: Normal, Sport, Eco or EV. Each mode changes the rate of throttle opening for a given throttle-pedal angle.

The 2012 Lexus CT 200h conveys comfort and style and is first to offer standard NuLuxe, a unique seat material that looks and feels like leather but is manufactured with the environment in mind. Also standard in the CT are 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support and four-way manual adjustable front passenger seat. The CT 200h Premium model now receives heated front seats and moonroof.
