Is this the production LF-Ch we all know as C-Premium aka CT200h? Sustainability is the focus of the automotive world today and to keep ahead
of the game, Lexus is adding more in their arsenal of hybrid luxury
cars.The LF-Ch concept was introduced to the world at the Frankfurt Motorshow just last year.

It made it’s North American debut last month in Los Angeles and is currently making it’s round at the NAIAS 2010 in Detroit. Just recently the folks at Autoblog has gotten a sneak peek of what seems to be a finalized version of the LF-Ch, nicknamed C-Premium, a 5 door hybrid hatchback.

The spy shot shows a rear left quarter shot of the car covered in layers of plastic to disguise. Comparing photos of the concept car and the spy shots, it’s evident the overall lines of the LF-Ch are retained, most notably the roofline, c-pillar, rear backglass & hatch, the taillamps mounted to the quarter panels. The spy shots indicate the license plate pocket resides in the hatch as well as larger taillamp assemblies. What is unknown for know is the look of the rear bumper, side profile and most importantly the front of the car. It is good to see that Lexus is putting more attention to the stance as the more aggressive wheel fitment is apparent in the spy shots. It’s only a matter of time before this car is unveiled to the world. The Geneva Motor Show seems to be the best fitting location to unveil this euro hatchback fighter.
