2016 Lexus CT200h Gets Minor Changes
The Lexus CT200h isn’t getting any major changes for the 2016 model year.
For the 2016 model year, the Japanese automaker has added a chrome surround grille, while buyers can opt in for the Lexus Enform Remote and Lexus Enform Service Connect. Both services require a subscription with Enform Remote allowing owners to remotely view and control certain vehicle functions using an iOS or Android device.
Lexus Enform Service Connect builds on the platform by adding maintenance alerts, warning light notifications and a vehicle health report that can all be sent via email or push notifications. Another new option for the 2016 model year is an optional moonroof.

Other than the previously mentioned changes, it’s business as usual for the Lexus CT200h. Along with the standard model, buyers can opt for the F Sport package that adds an exclusive mesh version of the Lexus spindle grille, black contrast roof, rear spoiler with two large air ducts, 17-inch wheels and fog light inserts with black surrounds.
As one of the six hybrid models Lexus offers in its lineup, the CT200h gets an EPA-estimated 42-mpg combined rating through a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a 650-volt motor for a combined system output of 134 hp.
Pricing on the 2016 Lexus CT200h has not yet been announced.
