The bold exterior immediately commands attention while the sporting lines of the CT 200h increase aerodynamic performance. The latest evolution of innovative L finesse design has resulted in a sleek luxury hatch like no other.
A captivating silhouette
With its low profile and sturdy stance, the CT 200h looks more than ready to tackle whatever lies ahead. The impressive front grill and elevated headlights add to its energetic look. From above and the side, the vehicle's shape is a visual impression of the flow of air, with the body naturally curving in at the rear to follow its movement as it flows into the CT 200h's wake. The drag coefficient minimises drag and translates directly into fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The emphasis on the wheels and strong fender design adds to the impression of momentum.
More options, more expression
Choose from ten exterior colours, including the all new Solar Flare and Volcanic Bronze, with nine of the colours featuring metallic paint at no extra cost. Take your pick from serene hues such as White Pearl, Silver Metallic, Graphite, Onyx, Blue Pearl and Elysium Blue or exhilarating Vermillion and Flame Blue. Choose ten spoke 16" alloys with an intricate design on the Prestige model or 17" alloys on F Sport and Sports Luxury models. As well as normal front and rear bumpers, sports bumpers and side skirts are available on Sports Luxury and are standard on F Sport. All models feature a rear roof level spoiler to improve aerodynamic performance, with a larger rear spoiler standard on F Sport and Sports Luxury (when sports bumpers are selected) for maximum aerodynamic performance and visual impact.
F Sport's unique exterior
F Sport lives up to the promise of its name with a number of exterior features exclusive to this model such as a unique front mesh upper grille, dark smoke finish alloy wheels, rear and rear-side privacy glass and F Sport badging. The F Sport has an additional exterior colour option of Flame Blue.
Innovative design
The optional moonroof tilts up externally before sliding back in a Lexus first. This innovation means interior headroom is not sacrificed while the opened moonroof sits in the roof lining. The moonroof features jam protection, a sunshade and an automatic deflector to minimise wind noise when it's open.
Everything illuminated
Daytime running lights (DRLs) at the lower edge of the front headlights use nine Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The DRLs activate when the CT 200h is started, making the vehicle highly visible to other vehicles and pedestrians. This additional lighting is particularly effective at dawn and dusk when ambient light levels are low but glare is present. As well as the DRLs, LEDs are used in the tail lamps, stop lamps, shift lever illuminator, rear view mirror indicators and in the high mount stop lamp. LEDs illuminate faster than conventional bulbs, alerting other vehicles to the driver's braking a split second earlier. They last longer than conventional bulbs and consume up to 45% less power.
More than a mirror
The exterior mirrors have been exclusively and meticulously designed for the CT 200h, taking design cues from the LFA Supercar. While compact and aerodynamic, they provide ample visibility and have a turn signal indicator located in the lower area. The mirrors are electric, heated, have puddle lamps and are rain dispersing. F Sport and Sports Luxury mirrors can retract automatically when the vehicle is locked, are self-dimming and automatically dip when reversing.
