2014 Lexus CT 200h Facelift to debut at Guangzhou Motor Show

A mild facelift for the Lexus CT 200h will be revealed at the Guangzhou Motor Show next week, complete with Lexus spindle grill.

Remarkably, the Lexus CT 200h arrived as a ‘baby’ Lexus more than three years ago at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, so it’s time for a bit of a facelift.

That facelift for the 2014 model year will debut next week, not at the big shows in Tokyo or Los Angeles but at China’s Guangzhou Motor Show before going on sale as the 2014 Lexus CT 200h.

Lexus aren’t telling us what they’ve done under the skin of the CT 200h – if anything – but the new CT 200h does finally get the new Lexus spindle grill to make it a full-fledged member of Lexus’s modern family.

There are also tweaks round the back – to “reinforce the car’s powerful presence on the road”, say Lexus – as well as a new set of alloys.

We’re hoping that Lexus has had a play with the modest 134bhp currently on offer to give the CT 200h enough power to justify the sporty (some would say harsh) suspension setup. Either that, or make the new car a much ‘softer’ riding car.

Full details when the 2014 Lexus CT 200h debuts at the Guangzhou Motor Show on 21st November.
