Much better

I would have preferred this new front end on the 3IS. It's clean, modern, smooth, stylish, yet not outrageous or off the wall like the IS. This here is a smart styling direction with broader appeal.

lets hope they did something to the interior as well. -- doubt it though

They're really refining the spindle grille on each new model and it's getting a lot better.

Better front-end and better choice of wheels

2014 Lexus CT 200h Gets the Spindle Grill

Coinciding with auto shows taking place in Los Angeles and Tokyo next week will be yet another event, China’s Guangzhou Auto Show, whose doors open on November 21. One of the main attractions pegged for the show will be an updated version of the Lexus CT 200h, which is expected to hit showrooms in the coming weeks, as a 2014 model.

Out of Lexus’ current lineup, the CT 200h is the final model to receive the automaker’s spindle grille treatment, with this being the 1st major update to the car since its launch in 2010. Other exterior changes include newly designed alloy wheels and a revised rear appearance with a more horizontal structure.

Lexus is waiting until the Guangzhou Auto Show gets underway next week to release the rest of the details, so you will have to stay tuned for more. Expect some new trim options and gadgets in the interior and perhaps a slight increase in output from the car’s Lexus Hybrid Drive system. The current CT 200h develops a meager output of 134 horsepower.

Lexus is aware that fans of the CT 200h desire more power but will probably wait until the next generation of the car, due around 2016, before exploring its options.

TOKYO (Nov. 12, 2013) – The world premiere of the 2014 Lexus CT 200h will take place at the 2013 Guangzhou Motor Show in China on Nov. 21. When the CT 200h was introduced in 2010 it was the world’s first full hybrid luxury compact car.

This compact luxury hybrid receives a new Lexus “spindle grille,” one of several dynamic and sophisticated exterior styling changes implemented for 2014 model year. Other exterior changes include newly designed alloy wheels and a revised rear appearance with a more horizontal structure.



All other details about the upgraded CT 200h will be revealed at the upcoming Guangzhou Motor Show. A press conference will be held at the Lexus booth, Hall 5.1 in the China Import and Export Commodities Fair Complex.

2.0t….where are you

spwolf

do you have some real info or? If 2.0t is coming to CT, then China is perfect to introduce it, as they have tax breaks for cars 2.0l and less.

I like the new spindle grill on the CT. It is different in that the upper and lower chrome sections are separate rather than one piece as in other spindle grills.

The CT would be Awesome with AWD and a Turbo 4... Perfect for a CT-F, if only Lexus be more agressive. Lol

This car looks great, but its a slow hybrid.

I really want the CT300h using the IS300h's powertrain . . . fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

ydooby

Too bad Toyota/Lexus won't put DI in its FWD engines so the hypothetical CT300h will have to make do with the ES300h's powertrain, but at this point even that will be a welcome addition to the CT lineup.
