"The Lexus CT 0h is cheap to run, but provides neither athletic performance nor the comfort that we expect from this brand."
of Lexus CT hatchback is intended as a competitor to the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3, but also as an upgrade Toyota Prius owners who want a hybrid with a little more luxury. There are no pure gasoline or diesel CT models; it is only with a 1.8-liter petrol engine is available, who is married to an electric motor to help make the car greener and cheaper to run.
Unfortunately for Lexus, comparisons between the CT and the most economical diesel A3 and 1 Series models are not favorable. In reality, the CT is not economical enough to justify the compromises involved with buying a hybrid. The hybrid drive system itself does not provide particularly strong performance, and if you add in its additional weight, the car feels sluggish and strong in the corners. Most of the hybrid system also applies to the car practicality.

the enduring appeal of cars Lexus wear badges has its comfortable, refined style but when the CT first on the road, it felt like the feature in an effort to sacrifice the car had to make feel sporty. In 2014, Lexus tried the problem through the softening of the car ride and stiffening his body, but to resolve in truth keeps the car still has its very firm grip on rough roads and the adjustments do not help its driving dynamics.
To add the problem, driving enthusiasts are unlikely to fall in love with the rather sluggish steering and noisy, slow CVT transmission, while owners for a really comfortable car will be disappointed by the company trip.
of Lexus CT is not a terrible car - the running costs are low, the interior is luxurious and it is extremely reliable proven -. but it falls the best in class in key areas shortly, especially if you are looking for the features buyers traditionally in a Lexus consider
Low CO2 emissions means that the CT an attractive company car makes but for private buyers is neither sporty enough yet comfortable enough to it, a hatchback we do about the alternatives on the market wholeheartedly recommend.

, the Lexus CT 0h the main trim levels in a bewildering amount comes: entry-level S, SE, progress, Quality, Advance plus, Sport, F-Sport and top-of-the-range Premier. The higher specification cars are seriously expensive so we would trim the SE or suggest advance if you can afford it, what features Kit as Navi and heated seats, which add to the car call, when you come to sell it.
