Lexus is reshuffling the UK range of their entry-level CT 200h model for the 2017 model year.

The update includes more equipment features and options, plus a new Executive trim level. The British arm of Lexus has also updated the Sport trim level with black details on the grille and door mirrors and a set of matching 17inch alloys in a bid to attract younger clients into their dealerships.

The updated Sport model now have a simplified standard equipment list but it still includes features like a reversing camera, navigation, rear privacy glass, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers and more. Lexus also offers as an £2,500 option the Sport Plus pack which adds parking sensors, smart keyless entry, heated front seats, sunroof and the choice of the optional metallic or two-paint finishes for free.

The 2017 Lexus CT 200h is also available in new colors and upholstery, with the company adding the Copper Brown and Sky Blue metallic finishes and the optional Sonic Titanium. Sport models are the only ones that can opt for the two-tone paint finish which combines the Deep Blue, Sky Blue, Mercury Grey, Fuji Red, Sonic White and Sonic Titanium with a Velvet Black roof. Inside there is the choice of new Red or Ocean Blue fabric upholstery.

The hybrid powertrain remains as is, which translates into a 98hp 1.8-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor for a total combined output of 134hp. CO2 emissions are as low as 82g/km on the basic S model.

Prices kick off at £21,995 for the basic CT 200h S model and reach to £29,995 for the CT 200h Premier.
