Lexus CT200h: A Prius that's actually a real car!

Having owned/driven a Prius for 3 years, I stepped up to the CT200 and never looked back. Door panels and side thickness are all in actual car proportions on the CT, not like the flimsy, weight saving build of the Prius. Though there is a reduction in mpg, it's well worth it for being in a solid car with excellent handling. Now that I no longer tear up the road, I'm fine with the CVT yet, Sports Mode can still kick you in the pants when you want it.

Just got my 2015 CT F-Sport with navigation. I LOVE it. Great mileage, comfortable handling, and fun to drive in sport mode. I usually drive in Eco mode for the fuel economy which of course, is not as peppy but is excellent for my long commute. The car offers plenty of power unless you have excessive road rage or are used higher hp. The interior is beautiful and I really recommend the styling of the f-sport with the black roof and sexy alloys. Tons of extra features that are a bonus when you purchase a luxury vehicle such as keyless entry, push-start, voice commands, i-Phone integration, bluetooth, and so much more than I'm still learning about. It's an unusual car in that there is almost nothing else like it: small hatchback, great mileage (and my definition of great is not 30mpg! averaging 44+ and loving it!), luxury vehicle, all at a relatively reasonable price point. Love

Sleeper Sports Hatch

Bought this car "certified" used from my Lexus dealer. Best decision ever. It performs beautifully. Lots of warranty . Don't believe the " slow acceleration" and /or "poky" performance claims - this car, if driven properly (sport mode works well), takes off like a shot and corners very well. Certainly not like a supercharged JAG, but well within sporty car realms, for a lot less money. The build quality is superb, as it should be for a Lexus. The cockpit feels, for my 150 lb. frame, just right, is very luxurious , (almost like my wife's ES 350 ) and it fits! Plenty of room in the back for cargo, too. The ride quality could be improved, though. Those low profile tires are terrible, they don't add much to cornering prowess, at reasonable speeds, and just give you lousy ride quality. All this said, I love the car overall and hope to enjoy it for a few more years. Added at 24 K miles: This car has been super reliable, not a single problem! Comments added at 32 K miles : this is an awesome fun car. Not a single problem, total super reliability. I have gotten used to the somewhat firm ride ( as compared to my wife's ES 350 ) but do enjoy the crisp ( almost go-cart ) handling. It is no big SUV, but I had no problems last year traveling 3,000 miles through the North East , getting consistent 42 + miles per gallon of regular gas. I am sorry Lexus does not make this model any more, I'd buy another one .

We leased this car, love the MPG, hate to give it back next month! the seats are very comfortable for my back, which normal vehicle seats really bother my back and hurt my sciatic nerve. I drive 15 hours to my second home in this car and I find that these seats offer me wonderful support with all the various ways you can adjust it. It doesn't have the neat little pull out seat portion that the NX of the same year had, which might be a great addition to long drives. (for passenger). I love the heated seats, love the fake leather used, very luxurious feeling and easy to clean. Its absolutely great on gas and i love only putting 20 bucks in the tank. the cons to it are the "sportyness" of it I guess. It is stiff and not luxurious feeling in the suspension. you do get somewhat road noise unless you have the wonderful sound system on. the headlights are sort of odd, in that you don't get a FULL shine, it's sort of cut off, unless you have the bright lights on then it's great. I wish this had roof racks to haul a surfboard or kayak, the smooth top is very nice looking but not utilitarian. This was our first Lexus, coming off of an Audi Allroad, the Lexus has had zero issues and no recalls or anything. I like the low tire sensor, it went off one time and wouldn't go back to normal, and a check up at the deal resulted in a very clean washed car and the sensor light going back to normal, at no cost. Never had to replace the tires, and only a few oil changes. We have no complaints and are going to consider another Lexus for the new vehicle.

September 2023: New owner of Lexus dealer is discontinuing their Mobile Maintenance service : ( Our 84-month Extended Warranty Plan expires in 2024. We will look for a local mechanic in San Francisco instead. Driving to the East Bay Lexus dealer an hour away doesn't make sense. Car has only 45K miles and been flawless through all checkups with this plan. March 2022: Bummed with Enform the onboard communications application for road service. Just got notified that as of October 2022, Lexus will no longer support it because of the 5G wireless network. Their system doesn't work on it and there was no option or fix provided. This is very disappointing. September 2021: Had to replace a backup reverse light myself. The first part to replace on the car, not bad. September 2020: Running like a charm. Finally replaced the tires finally with Michelins all weather for the west coast road conditions. With the Covid shelter in place haven't put many additional miles on the car since working from home is the norm. Dealer rotated tires and changed oil last month with their mobile service. Next scheduled major service will happen in Q2. No problems or issues whatsoever. September 2019: Worry free driving with regular dealer servicing. No surprise repair bills and peace of mind. Replaced rubber windshield inserts on my own. Will probably have to decide on new tires by the end of the year. Love the car too bad it has been discontinued. September 2018: Went on a summer road trip between San Francisco and Eugene, OR. Car performed well, 40 MPG, and comfortable for 9 hours each way. The driver seat adjustments helps as we switched positions between driving and riding shotgun. Listened to audio books through the music system and the cabin noise was quiet even at 70 MPH. 1 year update March 2018: Car runs perfectly. Had two services performed by dealer. Oil change at 6 months they came to my home. At 12 months they came by to pick up car and provided a loaner and work done in 24 hours. Really enjoying the comfortable ride, great mileage per gallon, and not having to go for gas fillup every week. Sad to hear Lexus will not continue with this model in 2018. Reliability, durability, fit & finish, technology and 40+ mpg sold us on this over the Prius Hatchback and V models we test drove. With a 5' tall driver they couldn't reach the hatchback on the Toyotas to close them. We thought with the Lexus brand the buying and post purchase customer experience would be as positive. Rather it has been inconsistent and requires me to have follow up individually with each department. Having the Lexus Certified Pre Owned 161 point inspection, 6 complimentary services over 30 months, and the extended 78 month warranty gives us confidence to many trouble free miles and a reduced Total Cost of Ownership. Update 9/08/17. Have had the car for over six months now and it still drives and feels like a new vehicle. Had the first of six complimentary maintenance services performed at my home. Based on the dealership's VIP program they send a Tech out to do minor service and will also provide a loaner care when major service is performed at the next 30K interval. Based on the Tech's recommendation the tires will have to be replaced in the next 6-12 months. They came with Michelin's and I'm researching whether or not to get Pirelli's or another brand. I love this customer convenience factor for service as the dealer is located over 35 miles away and with Bay Area traffic takes at least one hour or more of road time each way.

I have owned the car for 1 month and so far there has been no issues. It can be a bit noisy and you do feel every bump but I use it mainly for city driving so I am ok with that. Great gas mileage and you get the Lexus support. A great entry into the luxury car market. Update.... It has been 6 months now, and I am still very pleased with my purchase. No issues so far.

Sick of paying $70 per week for gas

This sporty hatch is great for hauling my scuba and other gear in the back, jostling through freeway traffic and it leaves a smaller carbon footprint than my gas guzzling sedan. Not a lot of power, but how much power do you need in daily traffic? On the highway you can shift into sport mode which gives you the ability to accelerate easily into traffic. This is a good little commuter car with some luxury features. I got the white with caramel interior which looks sharp. At 6'2" I can easily get in and out of the car and there is plenty of head and leg room. The price was affordable and Bobby at Lexus of Westminster was great to deal with. I decided on a certified pre-owned model with nearly three years of warranty remaining (and unlimited miles). You can pay less for this vehicle but beware of hidden destination fees charged by independent dealers and for vehicles with accident histories. When you are told that the price is bottom-line and no haggle, don't believe it. Nearly all of the dealers I spoke to were willing to come down off even internet prices for a ready buyer.

The car has 3 choices in operation. Ev, normal and Sport. The car on normal and Sport act with loads of Speed. Climb an incline with speed on EV is a challenge( I live in a hilly area). The gas efficiency is amazing. Get the GPS. It Deff is worth it. It helps you interact better with the car.

It is low to the ground with low profile tires, so one needs to be really careful to watch out for potholes or anything at all in the road. It takes a bit to become accustomed to the electric noises. One might think they are hearing a siren when the cars slows down.

This Lexus CT 200h, at over 40,000 miles has proved so capable that I am finding it difficult to buy another car. It runs like new, looks like new, has had no problems, is fun to drive, and gets between 40 and 50 mpg depending on how I drive it. It is easy to park due it's size, and never a problem for passenger comfort. Still waiting for Lexus to come up with a sporty compact all electric, but this little gem is one of the best cars on the road.

I love this little car. $16 bucks gets you 426 miles a tank. It’s very comfortable, I love the controls, and it’s fun to drive. I agree that it’s a little pokey. But if you need to merge onto the highway quickly you can snap it into sport mode and it makes a big difference. The plastics are cheapish. My pugs scratched it a bit rustling around in the back despite the cover and now it’s ruined and needs to be touched up. Apart from that it’s an awesome car. I am 5’4” and my husband is 6’0”. We both have awesome leg and head room as both the driver and passenger. The backseat has decent leg room if you’re smaller than 6’0”. It handles nicely and offers good visibility. There are 4 cup holders but not in the back seat. They’re located in the front doors and 2 in the middle so the rear passengers will have to use the middle ones. This is fine for me considering I don’t anticipate hauling people with drinks around.

The MPG probably isn't as high as 41 and you definitely have to fill up before 500 miles. I was told you wouldn't have to fill up for 500 miles and it only went 300 before the first fill up. It has a tiny gas tank and it only costs $20 to fill it up. The seats could be cushier but the interior is very nice. I am getting heat put in the seats next week for $900 (the seller paid half). The passenger door sounds tiney when you close it. Overall.... I am extremely happy with it but wanted to state the things that didn't pan out as stated. No car is perfect but for the price this car comes very close!

I've had my 2015 Lexus CT200h Fsport for 3 months and absolutely love it. The car and dealership were great. WARNING: I was told that I could purchase a bike rack hitch (the car is too little to pull anything) so I purchased the car and now find that no where is there a bike hitch that fits it. I just want to help anyone thinking of buying this car NOT to expect to be able to use it to haul their bikes. I tried UHAUL, Lexus parts and Lexus Customer Service for U.S. I'm hoping if they get enough requests they'll make the bike hitch so we can buy it!!!!

The car handles well, and it is beautifully designed. I thought the Navigation system in my 2012 4Runner was easier to use and had more options, and the mouse is more distracting then the touch screen. There are NO cup holders in the back, which I found odd. For the price, it's a luxury vehicle for a good buy, but I doubt I would purchase another. I may be moving on to BMW in a few years.

Only had it for a week, but really like it. Had an RX and didn't need that much space. Family grown, mostly drive alone. It's a wonderful alternative. Love that you can shift it to Sport mode, but you have to watch your speed. It does have cruise control. Next, thinking about NX, a new one right inbetween RX and CT. They just put on options so you have to take what is there. Also no tan upholstry at all, you have to take black. Or in the Sport model red and black. Bottom line, didn't have to put anything down, however I put $1k down to reduce payments and left owing $411/mo. However the sales person said he would pay my first payment. Sales Associate: Amir Have had Lexus since they first came out. We had a 1990 LS 400. You can pass them down or bring it back. If you exchange old Lexus for new one they always are favorable deals. You get $1k off MSRP, but that's just a starting point.

I saw this car in person and it was exactly as advertised, except, it was $1,000 cheaper than what was listed on the website! It drives like a dream, fuel efficient, and it's the cutest girl on the street. Edmunds made it easy to view different car options and see what was available in my area and in my price range. Highly recommend using their site if you're looking for a new car or just want to get an idea of what's out there. So much info at your finger tips and is also free + connects you to dealers with just a click. So happy with my purchase!

Ok, so this is a great little car. Nothing too glamours but enough upscale to carry the Lexus badge. Acceleration is probably the only flaw, but hey this is just a hybrid. The Lexus network is outstanding.

Our friend got transferred overseas and sold us her 2015 Lexus CT200h. We LOVE this car! We have it for our second car for running errands and making short trips to town and it's perfect. Great fuel mileage with the hybrid technology and easy to drive. We read reviews that said it had sluggish acceleration, but we think it's fine. It rides very well and handles like a go kart. It's the perfect second car for my wife and me. But it is small!

I have the 2015 Lexus CT200h, this car is awesome. It's sleek, elegant, sassy, classy and sporty. Well-designed car. Prius engine with luxury features and interior. Very quiet on the freeway we no wind noise, but road and engine noise are slightly high for a luxury car. On sport mode, the car changes to different level of performance. The CVT is very smooth. Since its a hybrid car- no starter, no belts and using a different technology for A/C so it gets cold fast. I like the auto climate feature. The driver seat fits like a glove!!

I had a 1999 RX300 was very comfortable. I did not have many problems with it. Now I bought the CT 200 H is smaller but I realized that I did not need so much space but the necessary. I love all its features. The best thing is the economical that is in gas and how comfortable it is in the front. It's perfect!

This car is just a better looking Prius, it drives like a Prius and unless you have a long commute and need to save money on gas this is not the right car for you. I can't imagine spending 40k on a car with barely 135 horse power. Best options in Hatchback category would be the Mazda 3 or the Golf TDI, I test drove both and it was night and day difference compared to the Lexus CT.

A new job with more travel makes it necessary to get out of this lease and into purchas, otherwise, I'd be keeping it for the term of the lease

This car struggles to merge and uphill. It turns out this is more like a Prius with some nicer interior and better design. I would not purchase this vehicle ever again. Good thing I leased and in 3 years or less I will be out of it. I would recommend the Golf GTI or the Mazda 3 S Hatchback over this expensive Lexus.

The Mpg on my CT200h is 35, at best, not 40 as the book says. The leatherette interior feels rather cheap to touch and feel but looks good. A bit claustrophobic even for me 5’7” 130lb Otherwise it’s fun to drive, solid feel, good control.

I own a 2015 pearl white Lexus CT with a camel color interior. It is a beautiful and classy car loaded with a sporty and well designed and equipped interior. I was looking at a used Prius at a Lexus dealer and spotted the CT. It was love at first site. There were a couple of Certified ones to choose from and I made them an offer on the best equipped one. They talk about it being slow, but out on I-95, I keep up with and pass some of the fastest at 100+ mph. It's pretty quick off the line also. While others are burning tires, I'm off the line using a fraction of gas. Of course they whip by me while I travel in style. The CT will take a curve better than most cars. It is very tight and low to the ground. It is amazing how nimble it is. The stereo in this car has a 10 speaker surround sound system with a sub woofer in the rear. It sounds like it has a sub woofer in each of the 4 doors and you can tailor the bass for as much as you can stand. It is now June, 2022 and I have noticed that my driver seat back is starting to split. I don't know if I could have used a product to prevent this, but it is the first problem I have encountered with the CT. Over all, I would recommend this car, but they stopped making it. Maybe they could resurrect it, seeing the price of gas today. I have gotten as much as 50+ mpg While traveling 400 miles of interstate highway and 43 mpg in city driving and I am still driving on the Michelin tires that were new from the dealer in 2017. You can't beat that scratching off like an idiot. As far as maneuverability, I have not put a scratch on it and it looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. Pearl white is a great color on this sporty looking Lexus. I have had many complements on it's looks. I have seen black ones & red ones, but none looks as classy as pearl white. I have owned my own Semi Truck, driven many miles and this car travels well on long distance drives.

Downsized from an LS46@ & GS430. We have other , older vehicles that are very low mileage collector cars if you will. So the CT replaced/serve red many purposes. Have a 2013 . Lease is up soon. Also a 2016. Good cars. I love a luxury vehicle so I do have to say this IS aSTEP DOWN or it's a great "entry" car for the luxury market... The petro economy is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! For what we would spend in 1 weed having the 2 older larger engine Lexi the CT has blown away as far as mileage, etc. there is NO comparison when you take a 4.3-5.0 liter engine to this TINY CT v4.. What 140 hp!!! As a daily drive tho...l with 18k one 1 & 12k on another we average 44 mpg and that's between a combination of both we have in FL & New England with sport mode and the VSP and TCS options it can preforme. Do NOTnhave the navigation as we are all iPod/IPad run lives. So it works for us! Technically difficulties regarding the remote start feature/app with some years. Leatherette is ok BUT is much better and so much easier to maintain than the real leather of our other Lexi. Everyone has their open but for daily, city/ short time driving... I'd rather get this car & have a new boat than have anything with a larger perhaps non hybrid engine... Toy with the idea of getting a LandCruiser or LX or GX BUT the ,petro and milege would kill me. It's ALL about compromises.

In my view the brakes on the car are defective. In emergencies stoping the brakes go all the way to the floor. If I had accident I will sue Lexus

Hard to get in, too low and hit your head. I am 5'8". Engine is bit noisy; may be engine power is too low for the car, 134 hp. Everything else is top notch. The interior, quality, performance etc. If no ups and downs like Texas roads, you should get 45 - 47 mi/gallon. For CA roads 40 - 43 mi/Gallon. You will or should drive in Normal mode mostly. Echo mode is during slow traffic and Sport mode is for uphills.

Found the car. The perfect car if you want reliability along with safety and fuel efficiency. Plus, ADORABLE! Lot’s of bells and whistles, comfortable and a great ride. According to some reviewers, the car doesn’t give the driver “a thrill.” That’s fine with me. I don’t need thrills when driving. I need to go from point A to point B safely and efficiently. I get my thrills in other ways! Lol!

I absolutely love my car. It is great on gas! I take my car on road trips and I won't have to fill up for awhile. It does somewhat great in snow and rain. Lived in Washington for 2 years and never had a problem with the rain. You can put the backseats down and it makes so much room for groceries and large items. You can even lay back there with the seats down. My husband and I have done that when we went camping. Cons: It is really low from the factory. So steep driveways and sometimes even speed bumps might cause it to scrape. The backseats are really really small. That is the major concern we have with the car because nobody can really sit back there. It is not meant for tall people at all. My husband is 6 foot 3 and nobody can sit behind him. Overall it is a great car. I have owned it for 5 years and will never sell it.

I was forced to replace my much loved 2014 Lexus 200CT H which was totaled in July. I got the same model in a 2015 . The milage is higher than I wanted compared to my car but it is in perfect condition. I would give it a 5 except for the mileage and am comfortable driving it as it is so much like my car that I lost.

This car is great on gas it is so comfortable to drive and is really not as slow as people make it seem. Was able to fit 300 plus dollars in the hatchback and the kids were in the back. My kids areb10 and 12 and they have enough room to bw comfortable.dont think grown ups would be to comfortable. I get allot of compliments.
