Lexus CT
Many people call it the “luxury Prius,” and, to be honest, they’re not far off the mark. As you might expect, the Lexus CT (Creative Touring Hybrid) offers superb finish and presentation. The most European of all Lexus products, this 5-door hatchback is powered by a hybrid system that offers many similarities to the Prius’ drivetrain, including a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine and an electric motor. Their combined output comes to 134 horsepower.
