Lexus CT 200h
Yet another luxury auto that delivers reliability to owners, the Lexus CT 200h, is a hybrid electric sport compact hatchback. While it does well in a range of categories, the Lexus CT 200h truly excels in terms of reliability. It shares many of its parts with the Toyota Prius, which is another of the most dependable autos to own and has maintained its durability since launch. Lexus as a brand also typically ranks high in terms of dependability, and the CT 200h continues this trend.
In fact, to see just how dependable the CT 200h is, you have to look no further than its recent honor from Carbuyer. The Lexus CT 200h earned the title of Most Reliable Car during the 2018 Carbuyer Best Awards. This honor recognized the excellence of the CT 200h in Carbuyer’s 2017 Driver Power reliability survey.
2016 Lexus CT 200h
The CT 200h arrived during the Geneva Auto Show in March 2010, following the LF-Ch concept car by six months. Although everyone can agree that the Lexus CT 200h is a dependable auto, drivers and experts alike are split as to whether they should love it or hate it. The vehicle delivers reliability and efficiency but lacks performance to some respect. The CT 200h also uses a continuously variable transmission, which some drivers do not like due to the way they disconnect you from the feeling of gears shifting.
While the Lexus CT 200h is frequently compared to the Toyota Prius thanks to its shared components, there are some key differences. The CT 200h was designed to improve handling thanks to its unique suspension components and lower stance, something which makes it more appealing to many drivers who want a dependable vehicle. It is also a more premium vehicle than you will get with the Prius, although not quite as plush or high-end as you get with other Lexus models.
The CT 200h is available from 2011 to the 2017 model years. The latest version of this Lexus hybrid has just one trim level: a four-door hybrid hatchback. Oddly enough, you have to pay for many upgrades, such as actual leather upholstery, LED headlights, the sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control, and even the rearview camera. The cabin does feel upscale, correctly giving the impression that it was constructed to last and enhance the auto’s dependability.
