Overview
Cars like the 2011 Lexus CT 200h Hatchback might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Lexus CT 200h uses its 1.8L Inline-4 coupled with 2 electric motors and a 1.31 kWh battery to produce 134 horsepower. This gives the Lexus CT 200h a 0-60 of 10.4 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the Lexus CT 200h achieves a combined fuel economy of 42 MPG. As part of the compact hatchback, the Lexus CT 200h competes with the Toyota Prius Hybrid Hatchback. Buyers can also consider plug-in hybrids such as Chevrolet Volt. It offers two trims with a base MSRP of $29,120.Â
