After creating hybrid versions of its RX, LS and HS, Lexus now proudly presents its most recent accomplishment, the CT (for Creative Touring) 200h. It houses a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine and a CVT transmission – the same as what you find in this generation of the Toyota Prius. The CT’s road handling is sportier than your usual Lexus, but this vehicle also features some of the added luxuries that the brand is known for. But this time, it all comes with the same fuel economy as a Prius!
Pros
- Very attractive silhouette
- Good factory-standard equipment level
- Respectably spacious interior
- Much more frugal than the competition
Cons
- Soundproofing just OK
- Traction control doesn't turn off
- As powerful as a Prius
- CVT with no Manual mode
