 Lexus CT200h To Offer Adjustable Driving Modes |
|
Sep 03, 2010 - 12:03 PM - by AutoGuide.com
|
Lexus is set to offer an adjustable drive mode system on their upcoming CT200h hybrid hatchback, similar to systems from automakers like Nissan and Subaru.
While other performance hybrids, like the Honda CR-Z, are content with Normal, Sport and Eco modes, the CT200h has all of the above, plus an EV mode. As you can infer by the names, Normal is the standard setting, while Eco dials back the air-conditioning and throttle response and Sport sharpens up the throttle and steering. Stability control and traction control systems are also dialed back to give drivers a bit more fun behind the wheel.
The EV mode is a bit more interesting, and allows drivers to drive for one mile under electric power, but at speeds of 25 mph or under – a pretty useless feature, but a promising glimpse of things to come from Lexus. Autoguide will be previewing the CT200h at the end of September, so stay tuned for our driving impressions.

Lexus CT 200h World Preview Tour finally reaches the United States |
|
Aug 31, 2010 - 7:35 PM - by jruhi4
|
As we stated in an earlier CT200hForum.com Front Page story, two pre-production prototypes of the Lexus CT 200h kicked off a World Preview Tour in Toronto, Canada on the last weekend in August 2010. True to Lexus' word, the Matador Red Mica and Obsidian cars will now be traveling in a long, protracted south and west itinerary through the United States.
We should remind you that the U.S. tour will be a bit different in nature from Canada's. The U.S. portion of the tour will not feature the live musical entertainment component of Canada's but will feature something even more compelling to the heart of the true car enthusiast: an opportunity to actually drive the CT 200h. In Lexus' own words, you can be among the first in the world to experience the new CT 200h prototype at a location near you. This is a true insider experience: you’ll be able to see the vehicle, drive it and, most importantly, share your opinion on the still-in-development prototype with our engineers and designers. Attend an event to explore the CT 200h in a sophisticated virtual setting, learn about the Lexus brand, test drive the prototype vehicle and more. Become part of the inside story of this brand-new Lexus!
This tour has the makings of being similar to previous Scion launches where the car is driven around the block in the vicinity of a hip, youthful and vibrant area of the city with an event employee riding shotgun. You must be 18 or over with a valid Driver’s License to drive. It appears that no advance registration is necessary. You merely show up and register for your preview drive.
After at least one false start, we now have full time, date and location information, but keep an eye on this story in case further information or updates become available.

Info set to be released includes expected fuel economy numbers as well as performance stats and pricing. To date, Lexus has yet to even officially state what engine is in the CT200h, with possibilities including the Prius powerplant as well as the more powerful motor found in the HS250h. The HS gets 187-hp and gets a combined 35-mpg.
In addition to the CT200h info, Lexus will also showcase its new lineup of IS models for Europe, including a new turbodiesel IS200d model.
