Power for the Lexus CT 200h comes from a 1.8-liter VVT-i gasoline engine mated to a powerful electric-motor fueled by nickel-metal hydride batteries. The total system output of 134 hp allows the vehicle to go from 0-60 mph in 9.8 seconds.
The Lexus CT 200h has an EV (electric-vehicle) mode that allows it to run on only on its electric-motor for up to 1.2 miles at speeds of up to 28 mph.
The hybrid returns an EPA-estimated fuel economy 43/40 mpg city/highway and 42 mpg combined.
The newly-released special package costs $37,995 (about €28,500 at the current exchange rate) and it is set to arrive at dealerships next month, with just 900 available nationwide.
