LEXUS PRIUS?! 2015 CT 200H F SPORT REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2015 Lexus CT 200h F Sport is praised for its striking F Sport styling, which significantly enhances the exterior appeal over the standard model. The reviewer highlights the sharp LED headlights, unique grille design reminiscent of the LC 500, and the sporty F Sport badging. Inside, the F Sport trim adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel and aluminum pedals, though the reviewer notes some interior trim elements feel dated and could benefit from an update. Performance is described as adequate rather than powerful, with the hybrid powertrain delivering around 138 horsepower and a sense of fun when the car is driven assertively, often requiring the driver to 'floor it' to keep up with traffic. Fuel economy is a major strong suit, with the reviewer achieving around 40 MPG in mixed driving, and potentially higher if driven more gently. The handling is commended for its planted feel and quick turn-in, making it feel like a 'go-kart'. Brakes are rated A+ for their linear and strong performance. However, the reviewer points out the small rear seat space and lack of rear armrest as drawbacks. Ultimately, the CT 200h F Sport is presented as a stylish, economical, and surprisingly capable handler, embodying the philosophy of driving a 'slow car fast'.
