The Lexus CT (Japanese: レクサス・CT, Hepburn: Rekusasu CT) is a hybrid electric automobile sold by Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota, as a premium compact hatchback. The CT, consisting of a single model called the CT 200h, is a luxury hybrid based on the Toyota Prius drivetrain and Toyota MC platform chassis, and is the first luxury compact and hatchback hybrid.[citation needed] It is the first production model in Lexus's family to introduce the "Spindle Grille" design as seen in its fascia. It made its debut at the March 2010 Geneva International Motor Show,[4] six months after the unveiling of the LF-Ch concept car; it is primarily targeted at the European market but is being sold worldwide[5] and was introduced to North American markets at the April 2010 New York International Auto Show. Lexus has trademarked the names CT 200h, CT 300h, and CT 400h.[6] The design by Takeshi Tanabe[7] was approved in 2008 and patented on 11 September 2009.[8]

Production began in January 2011 and European sales following shortly after.[9] Japan sales began on 12 January 2011,[10] while US sales began in March 2011.[11] The CT has been discontinued in the US and later Canada, with the 2017 model year being the last. Sales continued in some other markets until 2022.[12][13][14]

Designated the platform code A10, when fitted with ZR-series petrol engine with hybrid setup, the CT is known by the model code ZWA10. "CT" stands for "Creative Touring" and "200h" refers to the hybrid performance being equal to that of a conventional 2.0-litre engine.[15] However, Lexus distributors in some countries use the name, "Compact Touring".[16]

The CT was discontinued in October 2022 with a special edition named Cherished Touring.[14]
