Lexus CT 200h Black & Grey Edition, new limited edition for Spain from €29,900

The Lexus CT 200h positions itself as an entry point into the Japanese brand, a compact model that, upon its arrival, expanded the market for Lexus, as it broadened the range mainly towards younger buyers who wanted to own a model from the brand. On the occasion of the Madrid Motor Show, Lexus aims to attract the attention of that audience with a new limited edition of the CT 200h, which will go on sale once the event has concluded.

The Lexus CT 200h underwent a minor facelift not long ago, carried out to bring it closer to the brand’s other new models while keeping its look attractive and sporty. Now we are presented with the CT 200h Black & Grey Edition which, in addition to very comprehensive and exclusive equipment, stands out mainly for its exterior, with the black colour chosen for the bodywork, combined with the grey roof and rear spoiler. This design is completed with newly designed 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels, featuring a five double-spoke design in a two-tone finish.

If we step inside, we find that black is the colour that pervades every surface, present in the leather-upholstered elements such as the steering wheel, the gear lever and the dashboard, with grey stitching to add contrast. Its ergonomic seats with lateral support, offered as standard equipment, also include an exclusive fabric covering, with Storm Black as the chosen colour.

But that is not all, since if there is one thing for which the Lexus CT 200h Black & Grey Edition also stands out, it is its extensive standard equipment, which makes it a very attractive option within the premium segment. Among this equipment we can highlight the following:

• LED headlights, including fog lights.
• Adaptive cruise control.
• Rear-view camera.
• Lexus Safety System+, which includes the Pre-collision Safety System, Advanced Lane Keeping Assist, Automatic High Beam and Road Sign Recognition.
• ECO, Normal, Sport and EV driving modes.
• Hill start assist.
• Tyre pressure monitoring.

• Retractable door mirrors with four-way electric adjustment and heating.
• Dual-zone air conditioning.
• LED rear light cluster.
• Rain sensor.
• Tinted rear windows.
• 8 airbags.
• ISOFIX anchorages.
• Electrochromic rear-view mirror.
• Immobiliser anti-theft system.
• Individually folding rear seats in a 60/40 split.
• Lexus Media Display with a 7-inch colour screen.
• OPTIONAL: Navibox navigation system and front and rear parking sensors.

Mechanically, the Lexus CT 200h is offered with a single engine, and this Black & Grey Edition was no exception. It is a hybrid combining an electric motor working together with a 1,800 cc petrol engine; the combined output is 136 CV, linked to a continuously variable electronic transmission (E-CVT). This combination delivers a combined fuel consumption figure of 4.2 l/100 km, together with CO2 emissions of 97 g/km.

As I mentioned at the beginning, the Lexus CT 200h Black & Grey Edition will go on sale once the Madrid Motor Show has concluded, at a starting price set at €29,900.
