The newly developed high-rigidity body, along with enhanced suspension and a package with a low center of gravity, ensures superior handling and cruising stability as well as a comfortable ride. Also, carefully positioned, low-hip-point seats and other features augment driving pleasure.
The 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle combustion engine4 is combined with an electric motor to create a hybrid system optimized for the CT200h.
The CT200h offers the standard driving mode that balances power with fuel efficiency as well as different driving modes that modify control of the hybrid system, vehicle stability control and electric power steering, thus transforming both the driving style and the cabin mood.
The sophisticated cockpit is designed to lessen the need for physical movement and enhance the drivers' line of vision, and features two distinct zones: an information-filled Display Zone and a function-control Operation Zone. The Operation Zone controls, including shift knob and Remote Touch, are within easy reach of the driver to enhance operability and create a sporty driving space.
