The new full hybrid car luxury compact model from Lexus – CT 200h is priced from £23 485 OTR. The hybrid car will be available in three equipment levels – SE-I, SE-L and SE-L Premier.

The entry level SE-I features dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, 17-inch alloys, push button start and LED daytime running lights. The next SE-L adds leather upholstery, heated front seats and front and rear parking sensors. The most luxurious SE-L Premier features LED headlamps (first in segment), cruise control, smart entry system, electrically adjustable front seats, 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, HDD satellite navigation, Lexus Remote Touch multi-function control and rear parking monitor.

The car remains a sleek five-door, just like the concept. It has sporty overhangs at the front and back, and a well-placed rear spoiler. The car looks to have LED rear lighting. At 4,320mm long, the car is 140mm shorter than the Toyota Prius. The Lexus is 1,765mm wide by 1,430mm high; 20mm x 50mm less than the Prius. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, and features McPherson/front- and double wishbone rear suspension.

Lexus wants to use this car to prove that full hybrids do not have to be boring drives. They claim the car has "superior handling agility" to suit their customers' wishes, and three driving modes (Eco, Normal, and Sport) to adjust to different situations. Again, Lexus remained vague about sprint times, overtake ability, and top speed.

Hopefully, these details and more will be released at the Geneva Motor Show.

The leaked information also reveals data about Lexus LFA sales orders which states allocation will be fixed in April, while individual orders will be confirmed to customers in May. Demand has surpassed the announced 500 units set to be produced.
