 Interior Design and Special Features

If you expect the opulent standards of Lexus, and a lot of wood to cut, you can not find it here. CT 200h, but the interior is more sophisticated, smooth surfaces are the most congested points of contact. The optional leather seats feel rich and soft, but the standard upholstery "NuLuxe" (a synthetic imitation, which is 50 percent lighter than leather) is convincing and does not disappoint. The cabin looks modern and high-end, with the exception of the radio are looking dated and the layout of the screen panel.

Focused on the driver touches abound in the cockpit. The shift lever is at the top on the center console tilted at hand of the driver, and ergonomic controller stellar Lexus Remote Touch controls the navigation system - the controller is essentially a mouse that is on the driver's side of the console Central, as the shifter, it is remarkably easy to reach and use.

Driving Impressions

In Eco mode - which, as its name suggests, offers the best fuel economy - the CT 200h 2011 Lexus Prius shows its roots with the throttle response and management of numb too light. Things are looking up in the "Normal", but even this parameter can leave the car feel a little numbness in the fast moving traffic.

Most of the performance-oriented setting is a sport that sharpens the steering and throttle to provide a treatment that is more connected and arranged most of the other hybrids. Despite the acceleration time 10.4 seconds irrelevant, CT seems reasonably well-functioning and responsive in this situation. Yet, amateur-minded customers in this segment is well served by agile BMW 1 Series, or faster than the Volvo C30.
