Default 2018 CT200h refresh, discontinued for the US

A little shocked the CT was refreshed. And the Lexus signature DRLs are on the upper half of the headlight. How odd.

Wow those taillights, headlights, 10.3" screen, Lexus SS+, bigger MID screen, all make a nice difference. What a shame the CT never lived long enough here to receive the goods.

Big difference. Nav screen, rear taillights, probably being the two most welcomed for me.

It is a shame they never added the turbo engine as an option for this car. I really liked the CT and was going to purchase one but it was too small for my needs (this was before the NX came out) and I went with a Prius instead. I was surprised when I heard that they were discontinuing sales in the US as I see this car everywhere.

I wish they had redesigned it to look more like the iM, but this is a nice facelift. I'm mostly upset at this part, "Finally, all CT 200h variants are now equipped with numerous Lexus electronic driving aids. These include collision warning with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with steering control, and automatic high beams." I had to pay $1,500 for just the cruise and collision warning. The rest weren't even optional. This would have been the perfect CT for what I do.

How similar are the taillights from all models? size/dimension are they interchangeable.

Not for the US, but it will continue in other markets, like Europe.

2010-2013 HS250h suffered a similar fate, was updated for other markets but dropped in US.
Check out www.lexus-europe.com or https://www.lexus.com.au/ to see many interesting models
we don't get GS250h and GS350h and IS250h and SWB LS600h and ....
