Lexus might introduce an all-electric successor to the CT hatchback Lexus' European boss says segment's too important to ignore
Talking to the British AutoExpress, Lexus's Pascal Ruch says the CT has an important purpose, which is introducing new customers to the Lexus brand. Ruch told AutoExpress that the CT has a high "conquest ratio" of 70-75 percent, and that a CT customer is different from the envisioned UX customer. "I believe that all the segments we are now in, it's important to stay there," added Ruch.
AutoExpress says the CT could be replaced in 2020 with a model that would be offered both as a hybrid and as all-electric, built on Toyota's new TNGA global platform. The hybrid is likely to be the 177-horsepower 2.0-liter unit seen in the new European Auris, which corresponds to the new U.S. market Corolla Hatchback. The CT's successor could be sold as both a conventional hatchback and a more crossover-like version, much like the new Ford Focus and its Active trim level; Ruch says Lexus is thinking through a new approach for the CT. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/04/16/lexus-might-introduce-an-all-electric-successor-to-the-ct-hatchb/0015名無しさん@そうだドライブへ行こう2018/04/18(水) 19:53:14.01ID:djN9Xayh0 HVとEVで出すかもー あとSUVモデルも出すかもー
