What it is: A premium
compact hybrid. The first in the premium compact segment.
Cool Features: Designed with
the European market in mind, this is Lexus’s first five-door compact
car. Utilizing the familiar hybrid system found in other Toyota and
Lexus hybrids, the CT200h is capable of running in electric-only mode
for up to 1.2 miles at speeds up to 28 mph.
Bottom Line: No word on
weather or not it’s coming to the United States, but rumor has it, we
could see a U.S. version of the baby Lexus at the New York Auto Show in
April.
