Overview
Cars like the 2012 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 CT 200h Hatchback uses its 1.8L inline-4 engine and a 1.31 kWh battery to produce 134 horsepower and 142 lb-ft of torque. This gives the CT 200h Hatchback a 0-60 of 9.8 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 2012 CT 200h achieves a combined fuel economy of 42 MPG. As part of the subcompact hatchback, the CT 200h Hatchback competes indirectly with the compact hatchback options such as Honda Insight Hybrid Hatchback and the Toyota Prius Hybrid Hatchback. It offers 2 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $29,120.
