With first deliveries from March 2011, the CT200h will be the first luxury compact full hybrid vehicle available in Europe. The CT200h has been designed to offer dynamic handling combined with the exceptionally low emissions, excellent fuel economy and a refined drive associated with Lexus Hybrid Drive.

Further advancing the expression of L-finesse styling, The CT200h has a wide, low profile offering a dynamic, aerodynamic form that captures the imagination. As you sit behind the wheel, you instantly feel cocooned and at one with the CT200h.

For ease of operation, the instrument panel is divided into two distinct zones: an upper Display Zone and a lower Operation Zone featuring a wide grip sports leather steering wheel, the start button, an ergonomically designed gear lever and a distinctive circular mode controller. The circular Mode controller allows the driver to switch between the different driving modes. When depressed the vehicle operates in normal mode; a small turn to the left initiates ECO mode, optimising efficiency; whilst a small turn to the right brings the added dynamism of SPORTS mode offering sharper engine, motor and steering response with sportier VSC and TRC operation.

Chassis and suspension set up is unique to the CT200h and offers a superb mix of refinement and agility. McPherson strut suspension at the front, trailing arm double wishbone rear, high body rigidity and low centre of gravity contribute to high levels of agility, response and ride comfort.

With <100g/km, CT200h is the only premium automatic that receives the 100% discount from the proposed revised London Congestion Charge and will have a zero charge for annual road tax.
