Lexus Luxury Hybrid Hatchback


When you think of hybrid cars you probably think of a Prius, which can be found at Danvers Toyota Dealerships. The hybrid world will never match the original popularity and success of the Prius, just like no one can really compete with the success of the iPod compared to other MP3 players. Lexus is trying their hand once again at a luxury hybrid car that people will want to buy, and after the mild sales of their Lexus HS 250h, it won’t be too difficult to improve upon. You can find great deals at Master Automotive, but you will need to visit a certified Lexus dealership to catch a glimpse of the brand new 2011 Lexus CT 200h. This new hybrid luxury car might be able to compete with the electric vehicles being released at Salisbury Pohanka Nissan.

The exact pricing of the Lexus CT hasn’t been released yet, but there are estimates it will be in the $30,000 range. The vehicle weighs in at 3,130 pounds which is lighter than the HS but still a little heavier than the Prius. The EPA estimates that you can get 42 mpg around town and 41 mpg on the highway. The CT offers the EV mode, just like the Prius, which allows you to operate in solely electric power at speeds up to 23mph. The list of standard features is handsome like we would expect and the options could likely push you into the $40,000 range.

The 2011 Lexus CT 200h gives drivers the choice of how their hybrid powertrain will perform. The Normal mode is going to give you a typical hybrid driving experience and take advantage of the same engine set up that you find in the Prius. Drivers can switch into Sport mode, which is still fuel efficient but changes the suspension and steering components, making the CT super fun to drive. Lastly, there is Eco driving mode. This is how you will get the best fuel economy out of your cute hatchback luxury hybrid car.
