When Lexus designed the CT 200h back in 2008, they sought to bring to bear a luxury hatchback at the entry level that could both appeal to ordinary drivers across the world looking for a small luxury vehicle and environmentally conscious consumers with an eye toward reducing their environmental footprint. By the account of the Northwest Automotive Press Association, Lexus succeeded in both as the 2014 Lexus CT 200h was named the Favorite Hybrid by those combined members of the preeminent automotive magazines.

President of Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA), Nik Miles, bestowed the award at the organization's annual event with praise stating the 2014 CT 200h earned the stripes due to an "impressive combination of state-of-the-art small car luxury and hybrid technology." Citing the vehicle's sporty exterior design, advanced features and of course top of the line fuel efficiency standard, the Lexus CT 200h was said to lap its competitors at the Drive Revolution Event and the brand was obviously pleased with the honor: "We appreciate that drivers want a compact luxury vehicle that is both fun to drive and highly ...
... efficiency - the CT 200h really delivers on all fronts," said Lexus Western Area General Manager, Michael Bevan.

Indeed, that is the story with the CT 200h: the combination of high fuel efficiency and the luxury values of fun and comfort. In the category of the former, the vehicle's estimated fuel consumption (EPA, 87 octane) is 43 mpg on city roads and 40 mpg on the highway. This standard has earned it several other accolades including the Asian Auto Fuel Efficiency Award. The CT 200h is equally capable in securing the safety of its driver having earned the Grand Prix award for highest safety performance by the Japan New Car Assessment Program.

In terms of fun and comfort, the CT 200h does not disappoint either. The CT 200h brings with its fuel efficiency a superior driving experience than its hybrid cousins, seeking with the sporty look a sporty drive with significantly better handling, special suspension components and a low stance. Under the hood are a 1.8 liter four cylinder gasoline engine and a dynamic electric motor. Based on the situation, one or both motors propel the vehicle through an automatic transmission with a complete system output of 134 horsepower. Newly added for style and comfort are the new front-end design and interior luxury details like sliding driver and passenger sun visors and a repurposed steering wheel.

By these facts and the estimation of the Northwest Automotive Press Association, the Lexus CT 200h is worth a look.
