has unveiled the brand new CT200h model, the luxury full hybrid from Lexus. Paving the way for a new Lexus era, the CT 200h combines the vitality of agile driving with advanced environmental performance. The Oman launch coincides with the global debut of CT200h, the world's first full hybrid luxury compact that has been creating waves ever since it was first showcased at the Geneva Motor Show.Lexus Division said "From every angle the CT200h is young, bold and dynamic. The freshness exuding cockpit is every bit a Lexus and sets the benchmark for compact class refinement and luxury." "The super efficient Atkinson engine combined with the advanced full hybrid drive makes the CT200h win the "highest mileage car" crown hands down with an unbelievable mileage of 25km/ litre (fuel efficiency calculated under standard test conditions)." The 10 new dazzling exterior colours and an equally impressive 8 different choice of interior colour combinations live up to the imagination of the young buyers. The vehicle is a perfect one for the young, energetic and dynamic who appreciate technology at its best. The CT200h, besides the environmental edge offers an exceptional drive feel. We invite interested customers to come and experience the new CT200h and register themselves for a test drive to "celebrate new luxury" he added. The magic, of course, is the full hybrid drive train which can power the CT200h across the streets just with the electric motor capable of delivering 80 HP. At this point the CT200h is almost silent, uses no petrol at all and produces "zero emissions". The Atkinson petrol engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers silky smooth power. Another interesting feature of CT200h is the dual drive mode. Use "normal" for relaxed driving and "sport" for an exciting drive feel. These driving characteristics of the CT200h can be changed at a flick of the button. CT200h is a vehicle engineered for driving fun. Driving is easy and the handling precise. A low hip point, a steering wheel angled for easy control and pedal positioning allow for a sporty driving position. A snug driver's seat comes from optimising the shape of the seat cushion and designing the seat with internal support structures. Within the CT200h, functions are arranged into two distinct zones: the Display Zone (for visual systems) and the Operation Zone (for control systems). This allows easy control of the vehicle, creating a unique driving space that offers both luxury and a snug cockpit feel. A remote touch system blends in with the general centre console profile and enables mouse-like operation of controls (for controlling audio, climate control and other systems). This modern device and forward-placed display monitor, allow drivers to maintain optimal driving posture and good line of vision. The audio unit, standard on all grades, employs bamboo charcoal-based resin diaphragm speakers for delivering clear, low distortion 5.1-channel surround sound. The internationally acclaimed Mark Levinson premium surround sound audio system, the pinnacle of the listening experience, is available as an option. The CT 200h's newly developed suspension system employs front MacPherson struts and rear double wishbones. Use of aluminium for the hood and hatch door and high-strength steel throughout the body frame help reduce weight.
Aerodynamic parts beneath the floor improve airflow under the vehicle, contributing to a class-leading 0.28 drag coefficient.
Lexus' commitment to environment-friendliness is evident in the vehicle's performance and design.
Designed like a European luxury car, the CT 200h's size, packaging and full hybrid technology fully addresses the requirements of discerning customers. Using a new sensor to detect humidity, air temperature and windshield surface temperature, the air-conditioning automatically switches between fresh and recirculated air.
The all-new CT200h is now on display at the state-of-the-art Lexus showroom at Wattayah and also at Seeb Al Mawaleh.
The other Lexus exclusive outlets at Sohar, Barka, Nizwa, Ibri, Salalah and Buraimi will also have the CT200h on display soon.
