Lexus CT

Price $30,950
Fuel consumption 5.5 – 5.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 75%(view ratings)
After creating hybrid versions of its RX, LS and HS, Lexus now proudly presents its most recent accomplishment, the CT (for Creative Touring) 200h. It houses a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine and a CVT transmission – the same as what you find in this generation of the Toyota Prius. The CT’s road handling is sportier than your usual Lexus, but this vehicle also features some of the added luxuries that the brand is known for. But this time, it all comes with the same fuel economy as a Prius!
