Toyota to Launch the Lexus CT 200h at the Geneva Motor Show
The LF-Ch Concept by Toyota, that was first introduced last year at the Frankfurt Auto Show will take the stage at the Lexus stand in the production version next month at the 80th Geneva Motor Show. The production version is named the Lexus CT 200h. The teaser shot of the Lexus CT 200h, the first full-hybrid premium compact car by Toyota, has been released to whet our appetites. The new car is said to be a hatchback model that will compete in the European market with other premium compacts, such as the BMW 1 Series or the Audi A3 as well the Volvo C3.
“Created for motorists who want to lower their emissions, but not their standards, the CT 200h will be the first full hybrid vehicle in the premium compact segment. It will offer new levels of refinement, sophistication and attention to detail, without compromising style or driving pleasure,” said Lexus in the Press Release.
Not many details have been unveiled as of now except that the CT 200h will be equipped with second-generation Lexus Hybrid Drive technology similar to the one used in the RX 450h, GS 450h and LS 600h models. The powertrain remains similar to the second generation Toyota Prius that includes a gasoline/electric hybrid that combines a 1.8 liter engine with an electric motor for a total of 134 hp.
The car will be displayed at the Geneva Auto Show, along with the company’s LF-A supercar. It is not yet known whether the car will make it to the U.S. market or not.
