"The 2021 Lexus CT 200h 1.8 5-door hatchback in metallic blue is a polished hybrid hatch that balances luxury touches with everyday practicality. From its glossy blue paint and refined body lines to Lexus' signature spindle grille and LED daytime running lights, it projects a sense of style that feels upscale without being showy. The five-door layout adds a level of convenience, while the compact dimensions make for easy parking and agile urban driving. Under the bonnet sits the full-hybrid system combining a 1.8-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and an e-CVT automatic transmission. Collectively, the powertrain delivers around 134 bhp, with a 0-62 mph sprint in about 10.3 seconds and a top speed just over 110 mph. Driving is smooth and efficient thanks to the hybrid setup. Fuel consumption is strong, especially in mixed driving conditions, and the emissions are modest, making it well suited to both city journeys and highway cruising. Inside, the cabin reflects Lexus' attention to detail. Soft-touch materials, clean layout, and well-integrated tech features provide real comfort. There are amenities such as dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, rear privacy glass, a solid infotainment interface, and supportive seats. The rear seats fold to expand boot space when needed, making the car surprisingly versatile for luggage or cargo. Noise insulation is good, and suspension tuning balances comfort with body control, so the ride doesn't feel harsh over rougher surfaces. On the safety front, there's a full complement of airbags, stability and traction control systems, and driver-assistance features. In all, the 2021 CT 200h in metallic blue makes a smart choice for someone wanting hybrid efficiency, reliable engineering, and a premium feel in a hatchback package."
