Overview
Cars like the 2014 Lexus CT 200h 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 uses its 1.8L Inline-4 and 2 motor hybrid system and a 1.31 kWh battery to produce 134 horsepower. This gives the 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 2014 CT 200h achieves a combined fuel economy of 42 MPG. As part of the compact hatchback, the CT 200h competes with the Toyota Prius Hybrid Hatchback. Meanwhile, indirect rivals include the Chevrolet Volt which is a plug-in hybrid and the Honda Insight hybrid. It offers a single trim with a base MSRP of $32,050.
