Car Tech - 2014 Lexus CT 200h F Sport

Compact, upscale urban transportation that delivers serious miles per gallon. Brian Cooley takes a ride in Toyota's performance hybrid, the 2014 Lexus CT 200h, and checks the tech.

Perfect, Lexus. This is what I'm looking for in a car.

It looks a million times better than a Prius I would actually drive this

I tested this car today and it was so good to drive very good build quality....i will buy that car I tested in this week👍

[elvistwatty]

Once it is used market... Price obviously tapers. Making this a great value for daily driving

[BYSMAth]

I think the point of this car is to be a daily driver for someone that stays inside the city, but doesn't want to drive an economy (price wise) car. It gives you most of the Lexus brand features without having to dish out extra money for gas.

Best compact car with all the tech. Love it!

[ElleyElley-etky]

an amazing car. people say buy a VW golf GTD hahaha. VW are one of the worst build unreliable cars are with most German stuff. people are clueless. 28 years in the motor trade tells me this. This is not & never was meant to be fast. it's an amazing build quality better than anything in its class. Great car. Everyone has their opinion, just most are wrong.

[EhrenValme]

anyone notice the prius in the background??

[cesarochoa]

My mom just got one today ! ☺ It is very very nice.

I still keep wondering why Toyota/Lexus could never find a 2.0l to make a hybrid version of. It's either this, or a 2.4l from the Camry/HS250h that is a little too mpg hungry. Seems like a 2.0 version would be the perfect middle ground. Something like 145-150 hp total with all of that e-torque sounds like a perfect mix. They've sold tons of these though, so what do I know?

[Sofala]

Is it just me, but I get in the car, drive and listen to the radio. Haven't touched my infotainment system since I tuned the radio stations.

[Trades]

This car is great in a lot of ways, but the 1.8 hybrid powertrain is a hit & miss. The only thing I wish Lexus did was put in the 2.5 hybrid from the ES300h in or better yet, the 2.0 turbo from the new NX200t. 235hp in a "CT200t" would make a killer hot hatch.

[tepeke]

Excellent review Brian! Next....porsche macan, mazda mx5 (2016), and the new c class.

The two people who disliked the video are the others guy's fans lol

[warikplaya]

This is a very good car. I have had it for a little more than 2 years. But the power train really is very weak. It would be an amazing gem if they would knock off at least 2 seconds from that 0-60.

[fhm]

I wish it had cooled/ventilated seats.

I'm at the age were fuel economy and reliability is more important than drag racing but I'm not so far gone that I'm willing to pay a premium price for it. A used 2014 CT will run you about 20 grand. So will a new C-Max that while not quite as luxurious, will provide significantly more horsepower and similar MPG. It is a great looking vehicle though.

[ec]

Seeing as most Highways have a max 85mph speed limit this is a intelligent buy. It will be hard to get speeding tickets & the fuel economy will result in a lot of money saved! Any car with decent torque & whp I tend to abuse. 😂

[AnontheGOAT]

In the 2012 CT video, Brian raved about the infotainment controller lol.

[gothops]

This would be such an awesome hot hatch if they ever dropped a 2.0 turbo in there. Or continue with the hybrid but make it more sporty, like having the batteries power one axle and the engine the other. So much potential for this car, it could be so exciting if they just tried to make it fun
