Dare to be different in the 2012 Lexus CT 200h, a remarkable hybrid vehicle with a style all its own. Its 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder engine and electric motor work together in perfect harmony to get you an industry-leading 40 mpg on the highway. Its efficiency is further enhanced by a special rack and pinion steering system with electronic power assist and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with a planetary gear unit.
The 2012 CT 200h is equipped for great performance all year round with its all-season V-rated tires. Its highly rigid, aerodynamic body is zinc plated on the roof, trunk lid, doors, and front fenders for increased rust protection, so it'll look good for the long haul. Measures to limit noise, vibration, and harshness have been applied throughout the vehicle for a serene and relaxing drive, and UV-reducing glass on all windows will keep excess UV rays from entering the cabin.
The CT 200h offers an array of advanced features for your convenience and ease. Hop in with the help of a SmartAccess key system and let an automatic dual-zone climate control with a dust and pollen particle filter provide the perfect air for you and your guests. Fire up your favorite tunes on a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD player with USB/iPod audio plugs, so you can take your entire music collection on the go. Other onboard amenities include an incandescent dome light and map lights, a center console 12 volt power outlet, and a center console with two front cupholders.
Lexus's legendary safety shines through in the CT 200h, which comes standard equipped with all the safety features you need for the road. It employs high tensile-strength sheet steel and aluminum components for superb all-around protection, and also comes equipped with added measures like vehicle stability control and side-impact door beams.
