Lexus CT 200h deliveries early 2011

First Irish deliveries of the new Lexus CT 200h, the luxury brand's new compact hybrid hatchback, will be made in early 2011, according to Lexus Ireland.

The car, which received the accolade 'Favourite Green Car' at the recent Paris Motor Show, has CO2 emissions of 87g/km. There are virtually no NOx emissions from the CT 200h, which is powered by a hybrid system that includes a 1.8 petrol engine.

Energy savings efforts even included the provision of a digital audio system that consumes only half the power of an equivalent analogue system, and a substantial use of LED lighting technology.

Prices and specifications will be given later this month.
