Expected debut sometime in 2017.
The current, first generation Lexus CT was introduced at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show as the world’s first full hybrid luxury compact car. Seven years hence, the hybrid hatchback will enter its second generation. The 2017 Lexus CT is already being tested on European streets, spyshots revealed last year. A speculative rendering from kurumagt.com shows what the next-gen Lexus CT may look like.
The design of the second generation Lexus CT seen in this rendering seems to be inspired by that of the Lexus RX and Lexus RC.
The second generation Lexus CT would be the first Lexus to use the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform. The current generation Lexus CT shares its hybrid powertrain with the third generation Toyota Prius. The next-gen CT, similarly, may borrow the new generation Prius's 120 bhp hybrid powertrain.
