Шины на Lexus CT (Лексус)

The compact hatchback "Lexus CT" was present in the production range of the Japanese brand from 2010 to 2022.

The car was the debut of the brand in this segment, and at the same time, it opened the line of hybrid models aimed primarily at the European market, being designed to compete with the BMW 1 Series, Audi A3, and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. However, the Japanese manufacturer offered a different concept: instead of turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines, a full-fledged hybrid powertrain focused on economy, comfort, and practicality in everyday use. The CT turned out to be not just a reduced version of the larger "Lexus".

The model received its own character, combining a premium level of trim, the brand's reliability of Japanese technology, and a special philosophy of driving style.

Hybrid Architecture

The key technical feature of this model is the hybrid powertrain, similar in design to the system used in the Toyota Prius. At its core is a 1.8-liter gasoline engine operating on the Atkinson cycle, an electric motor, and a nickel-metal hydride battery.

The total power of the installation is 136 horsepower, and the transmission of torque is carried out through a planetary e-CVT transmission. Unlike many competitors, where the main attention is paid to dynamics, the CT focuses on efficiency. The average fuel consumption in the combined cycle is around 3.8-4.1 liters per 100 kilometers - a figure that for a long time remained virtually unattainable for premium-class gasoline hatchbacks. Another feature of the hybrid system is the ability to move exclusively on electric traction at low speeds. In urban conditions, this allows significantly reducing fuel consumption and noise levels.

Platform and Chassis

Despite the close technical connection with the "Toyota Prius", this car received a seriously redesigned chassis.

The engineers paid great attention to manageability, since the car had to compete with European models known for their precise steering. The front suspension is made according to the "MacPherson" scheme, and a 2-link independent structure is used at the rear. The body rigidity has been increased due to reinforced welding points and the use of high-strength steels. Nevertheless, the suspension settings turned out to be such that the car provided good, by the standards of this segment, smoothness of the ride, while maintaining stability of control at high speed and dynamic maneuvering.

Another difference was the settings of the hybrid installation, transmission, and braking system, which could operate in one of four modes: Eco (priority of fuel economy), Normal (balanced characteristics), Sport (fast reactions of the powertrain and steering), EV (movement on electric traction over short distances).

Interior and Equipment Level

The salon is executed in the characteristic style of the brand: complex architecture of the central console, high-quality materials, and attention to details. The trim uses soft plastics, aluminum inserts, and leather. One of the features of the interior is the developed central console with a large block of the Remote Touch multimedia system control. The screen is located at the top of the panel, which allows minimizing the distraction of the driver from the road. The equipment of the model corresponds to the standards of the "premium" class - 2-zone climate control, multimedia system with navigation, Mark Levinson audio system, rearview camera, keyless access system, adaptive cruise control, Lexus Safety System complex.

The standard equipment included wheels with a landing diameter from 15 to 17 inches. Most versions were equipped with tires in the size of 195/65 R15, 205/55 R16, and 215/45 R17. Such parameters allow you to choose both economical models with low rolling resistance and more sports variants for improving manageability. You can always buy suitable wheels in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, where a wide range of models for different operating conditions is presented.
