2011 Lexus CT 200h
At the 2010 Geneva Auto Show, Toyota dropped hints that the new luxury hybrid will be launched in the US but now, the Japanese manufacturer gave official confirmation that this April, the car will make its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show. Mark Templin, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager, said that in the premium compact segment, the all-new Lexus CT 200h will be the only hybrid vehicle. Templin said that the CT 200h is expected to attract new buyers to the Lexus brand with its combination of luxury features, stunning styling, and performance. Powering the car is a 1.8-liter VVT-i petrol engine that is mated with an electric unit. Four driving modes are offered -- Eco, Normal, Sport and EV. In the electric mode, the car offers a maximum range of up to 1.2 miles (1.9 km) at speeds of up to 28 mph (45 km/h). Lexus also made adjustments to the car to make it as aerodynamic as possible. The flow of air down the sides is improved due to the tweaks on the front and rear corners. Toyota tapered the sides of the cabin and also lowered the rear edge of the roof.
