In the country to ask which luxury brand is the lowest key and the highest popularity, that is not Lexus, no matter what the news, as long as it is related to Lexus, the attention will not be low, like what price increases, price increases, etc. are very hot topics. Some time ago, Lexus broke a more heavy news, that is, its cheapest model - Lexus CT will be officially discontinued in October 2022, and the replacement of CT has long begun to conquer the market, it is UX.
From the debut of the Lexus CT in 2010, to the launch in 2011, and now, ct has gone through 12 years, let's review the history of this car.
Unlike the well-known "god car" such as ES and RX, CT has a short history, only 12 years, and there is no replacement model, only modified in the middle. At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the Lexus CT debuted, the overall design is based on the Lexus LF-CH concept car, although the design is not as extreme as the LF-CH, but at the time it was also full of personality.
Powerly, the CT is equipped with a hybrid system composed of a 1.8L gasoline engine + electric motor, with a maximum engine power of 99 horsepower, a maximum torque of 142N·m, an electric motor power of 82 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 207N·m.
In 2013, Lexus launched a modified CT, the biggest change is that the front of the car is equipped with a classic spindle design, the net has become more three-dimensional, the configuration for the first time added a headlight cleaning function, this configuration is not a surprise function at the moment, but it was still possible at the time. Since it is only a small modification, there is no change in other aspects, the power is still a combination of 1.8L + motor, and the parameters have not been adjusted.
In 2017, Lexus CT launched a mid-term redesign, which is ct's second iteration and has been used ever since. The appearance is mainly adjusted for the front and rear of the car, the new headlights use the Lexus family blade LED daytime running lights, while the style of the lower grille has become more three-dimensional, the chrome border has also been changed to a split design, and the sense of sport has become better. The main adjustment of the rear of the car is the tail light, and the interior uses LED light strips to match, and the fashion sense is very good.
Since it is a mid-term redesign, the interior has also been adjusted, the most obvious is the addition of a 10.3-inch LCD display above the center console, the human-computer interaction system has also been upgraded to Lexus's mouse-like design, and a new LCD display has also been added to the right side of the dashboard. In terms of power, the redesigned CT still uses a combination of 1.8L + motor, and the power parameters have not been adjusted.
Lexus CT withdrew from the U.S. market shortly after the launch of the 2017 model, and withdrew from the domestic market in 2020, but still sold in Japan and the European market. But some time ago, in order to commemorate this car, Lexus launched a special edition model - Lexus CT200h Cherished Touring, which literally means "cherished journey", which we can understand as the final version. There is no adjustment in the appearance, interior and power of the new car, but two sets of special body colors are provided, namely "Sonic Quartz White Body + Titanium Silver Roof" and "Graphite Black Body + Titanium Silver Roof", which is different from the previous ordinary version.
Summary of the full text
As the cheapest model in Lexus, Lexus CT has made many users realize the dream of importing luxury cars, and now it is discontinued, which is indeed a pity. However, since Lexus launched UX in 2018, we also feel that CT should soon be replaced, because UX is similar to CT in all aspects, but it is an SUV model, which is more popular than hatchbacks. Lexus also saw this, so it discontinued CT, and for users who plan to buy Lexus models but have limited funds on hand, they can only choose UX.
