DEFY CONVENTION, WITH LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE
LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE
The CT200h Full Hybrid luxury compact offers
both leading-edge environmental performance and
exceptional driving pleasure. It is made
possible by a second - generation Lexus Hybrid
Drive, which combine an innovative 1.8 - litre
Atkinson Cycle engine with a high - output
electric motor and an advanced compact battery.
Working seamlessly together, these two power
sources provide excellent total system output.
Dive the CT200h and you'll quickly discover the
pleasure of dynamic handling and smooth linear
acceleration, while class-leading fuel
efficiency and low emissions make it the car for
people who want to reduce their impact on
natural resources and the environment. |

CO2
EMISSIONS |
 |
|
For astonishingly smooth
performance and low CO2 emissions, the
CT200h orchestrates a combination of
super – efficient 1.8 litre engine ,
high – output electric motor, powerful
compact battery, seamless hybrid
transmission and power control unit. |
|
|
1.8
LITRE 4 – CYLINDER ENGINE |
 |
|
Featuring Start / Stop
capability, EGR
( Exhaust Gas Recirculation ) and VVT-I
( Variable Valve Timing – intelligent )
technologies, the ultra – smooth
Atkinson Cycle engine delivers
exceptional fuel efficiency and
significantly reduced emissions. |
|
|
HYBRID TRANSMISSION |
 |
|
The Lexus Hybrid Drive’s electric motor,
generator and power split device are all
housed in the hybrid transmission. Here,
the two forces of the Full Hybrid –
electrical and mechanical power – are
combined using continuously variable
gear ratios to produce seamless
performance. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
HIGH – OUTPUT ELECTRIC MOTOR |
 |
|
The electric motor works
together with the engine to boost
acceleration, and is the sole source of
power in EV-Drive Mode. Generating
instantaneous and liner torque, it
provides excellent power output. |
|
|
ADVANCED COMPACT BATTERY |
 |
|
Lexus Hybrid Drive
features high – output Ni-MH ( Nickel –
Metal Hybrid ) battery controlled by
sophisticated energy – management
software. Located under the rear luggage
area without compromising interior
space, the battery is constantly
Recharged by the vehicle’s operation and
requires no external charging. |
|
|
POWER CONTROL UNIT |
 |
|
Located in the engine
compartment, the ground-braking power
control unit is the brain of the Lexus
Hybrid Drive and controls the allocation
of power resources to ensure optimum
efficiency at all times. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
EXHAUST HEAT RECOVERY |
 |
|
This compact unit helps
warm up the 18 – litre engine more
quickly. Fitted to the exhaust system
between the engine and catalytic
converter, it allows the engine to
switch off earlier and more often in
cooler weather, leading to a reduction
in fuel consumption and emissions. |
|
|
REGENERATIVE BREAKING |
 |
|
Especially during
braking, but also when cruising, the
electric motor acts as a high- output
generator, recovering kinetic energy as
electrical energy to change the hybrid
battery for use later when accelerating
hard, or driving in EV-Drive Mode. |
|
|
DRIVE MODE SELECTOR |
 |
|
The CT200h has four
selectable drive modes. EV-Drive Mode
provides whisper quiet, emission-free
progress using only electric power. Eco
Mode and Normal Mode combine engine and
electric power for relaxed higher speed
driving. Sport Mode delivers a more
dynamic driving experience. |
