The 2014 Lexus CT200h facelift was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show and the Guangzhou Motor Show this week.

The biggest change to the facelift is the fitment of the spindle grille that all new Lexus models sport. The vehicle can be had with either 16- or 17-inch alloys with a 10-spoke design, and a shark fin-like roof antenna.
