From what I can tell it's a smaller, more expensive version of the Prius.
What's your objective? If you want to save fuel and save the environment buy the Prius and donate the extra RM30k to some environmentally conscious organization. If you want to show off then by all means get the Lexus  |

Prius are made in Thailand and the price there is around 1.3m baht (RM120k). Prius prices in Japan on the other hand are closer to 2m yen (RM 75k). I have no idea why Thai made Prius prices are higher, I'm sure there are duties involved as wellSince Malaysia is importing directly from Thailand we're getting screwed on pricing because we're using Thai prices. One option is to import new/recond Prius straight from Japan if you have the AP, but the Prius is the top selling car in Japan the past few months and it's near impossible to get a new or used one anywhere. But I still wonder if we as regular users can get a new Prius for RM75k + 10% tax + cost of AP. I don't mind a RM90k Prius... |

Although the CT200h share the same engine & electric motor with the Prius, the similarity ends there as there is no confirmation that this car & the Prius share everything else. Throughout the Lexus lineup, RX is the only model manufactured outside Japan. QUOTE(gogo2 @ Jan 26 2011, 02:37 PM) lol... katak bawah tempurung... lol!

having said all these , it also base on what lexus are as i also never get in the ct200h or even see one so i dunt know about the car, but i know the brand. at rm168k it is the cheapest lexus but not cheapest hybrid really interesting what going on in the hybrid choices now we got luxury brand! - ct200h premium or "trendy"? - prius ( anyone in hollywood doesnt have one? lol ) for the "mases" ? - civic , insight Added on January 26, 2011, 3:59 pmmore info n yummy vids.. omg they fixed some LFA craziness inside! :droll: a little bit  http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/13/2011-le...view-road-test/ This post has been edited by Revamperz: Jan 26 2011, 03:59 PM |

Saw one being delivered on a trailer to Lexus Mutiara Damansara earlier today. Looks not too bad in the flesh, have to go check it out up close sometime soon. Price looks very tempting.

Don't complain about the price. Lexus is not a luxury brand only for US, it is a global luxury brand. To lower down the car to 150k? Well, please wait when Audi, Merce & BMW do the same.
 To sell a luxury brand at RM170k, i think it is a breakthrough, and I hope this will be the price range for all hybrid from the rest of the luxury brands in future. From the pic, the car doesn't look too good, but once the advertisement kicks off with the hot girl Kylie Minogue in it, I am sure it will spice up the car, especially in europe & australia. |

The price of CT200h (full spec)in japan is 4.3m yen (RM146,360 ) for full spec and 3.5m yen (RM130,000) basic spec/..., while in Malaysia RM200,000 for full spec and 168k for basic spec.
The different in 38k-RM55k++. Eventhough the tax is lower this year, but it still subject to 10% tax, transportation cost, UMW profit, and AP cost (I heard now RM10k per AP), no more free like before. After Dec this year, the price will back to normal unless government extend the tax exemption. In japan, green car like prius /ct200h also enjox some incentive from their government in the form of tax etc... So for me the price is ok if you can afford to have it. If you can't afford it, RM140k you will still say expensive. Be a brand new luxury car, if we take the 168k tag price as compared to many who buy recon car, we take example Caldina ZT 5 years old at RM125k. which one expensive/cheaper ? Pls note, recon car come with 1 month warranty only. If you are luck you get a good car And pls note, this is hybrid. Prius is the leader in this segment. The day will come where many will appreciate Hybrid then normal car. The similarity between prius and ct200h is only the powerplant and system. The comfort, handling etc totally different(i have test drive prius but not ct200h) based on internet review. Also interior prius is like a cheap car (compared to my caldina), and this is CT 200h ie very much better and luxury. I have seen Insight interior too, sorry to say...its just like a saga from japan...look2 cheap interior and its not full hybrid. go here http://www.ct200hclub.com and here for price in Japan http://autoc-one.jp/lexus/ct/grade/ Dont compare in UK/US price, they are different for what ever reason.

Hey guyz I have seen the interior design of CT200h. I think its the most gadget techie car I have ever seen so far, beside of the Panamera Porcher. For that price I think its really worth it, just 196k,to get a brand new car. And Malaysia lexus only import 300 units this year. Good luck in getting CT

Its a cheap way to own a Lexus...no doubt. But I strongly recommend the high spec version. The low spec version really botak. No electronic seats too!

hey.. if the car has a good and powerful engine, you can just use the 'hybrid' system for the first 1-2 minute drive out from your car park to the highway and use petrol all the time!! hehe
the purpose is not getting a hybrid car but getting a new Lexus for below 200k. |

I was at MD just now , they are doing the launching. It look real nice!!!
So far , they have 180 bookings!!!! Added on February 27, 2011, 6:22 am QUOTE(FarinaRacer @ Feb 12 2011, 07:34 AM) The price of CT200h (full spec)in japan is 4.3m yen (RM146,360 ) for full spec and 3.5m yen (RM130,000) basic spec/..., while in Malaysia RM200,000 for full spec and 168k for basic spec. You give the best comments , impartial and I share the same. I have just booked the Lexus CT200h, delivery is now June/July. Pearl white with black interior for me.The different in 38k-RM55k++. Eventhough the tax is lower this year, but it still subject to 10% tax, transportation cost, UMW profit, and AP cost (I heard now RM10k per AP), no more free like before. After Dec this year, the price will back to normal unless government extend the tax exemption. In japan, green car like prius /ct200h also enjox some incentive from their government in the form of tax etc... So for me the price is ok if you can afford to have it.

Was at the showroom to check out the CT200h. The luxury edition certainly feels nice, but the back seat is very small, it felt as small as my old Peugeot 206 and much smaller than typical B-segment sedan. Nice car but it's just not for me.
To the new/future owners, enjoy your car! |

dont listen to those who say better get a golf or mitsu etc
the ct200h is in a different league as it is a hybrid from a luxury car maker with elegance kalau nak hybrid murah then its the insight or the prius i like this car but for me, at that luxury price of close to 200k, i'd get an NSX...for me though |

There are units for test drive. However, even the test drive units were sold off.
The battery can last whopping 15 years as in the case of 1st generation prius. However we only have 3 years warranty here. In US, Lexus gave 8 years warranty. Just a note, CT200h is a full hybrid unlike insight which is not. |

Hybrids is new trend right now, but it has a long way to go to proved that it's a very reliable engine in a long term run.. maintenance wise is wide costly as less people are driving hybrids these days

It has been proven in US that the battery can last 15 years. Hybrid is only new to Malaysia but not to the world. In Japan, it is very sellable. Roughly, 5 years saving in petrol cost at current price (assuming saving RM300 per month) is enough to cover your battery cost of about RM20k. In the end, we are still buying. Lexus without Tax. Just think about it , worth or not ? |

Unless you really a green guy or keen with the new hybrid tech, might as well spend the money on used IS250 if you really keen on Lexus.

ppl who looking for nice luxurious car CT200h is good for u for low price..
for my review about it... the looks and gorgeous just test drive last sunday @ damansara once u get in the seats it welcomes you with nice seats... all the buttons are nicely put so ur hand can reach them... front look like IS250 and Back like subaru V10.. ok time for the test drive... at 1st normal driving is ok... brakes are superb same as prius... but once u rev the car u will be very very very dissapointed... even at sports mode the car fails to perform.. with me driver and 2 passenger if the engine high revs there is a funny roaring sound from the engine and when u sit at the back seat there is a funny tock tock sound from the battery.. and the car struggles to get to 100 KM/H ( sports mode on petrol + full battery power ) i'm currently driving city CVT and when my city high rev i dont even get that sound from the engine.. the engine is same as prius when i test drive prius is more powerful than the CT200h and no loud engine roaring sound when high revving.. CT200h is also heavier than the prius overall nice car to drive if u are just city driving and everytime stuck in jam but those driving highway or long distance and wanna drive faster abit.. this is not the car for you..

Did u tested the base unit? It seems that the luxury is ok, the engine was not loud!!! Could it be the performance damper? ....... cause I tested both!!!

We should consider ourselve lucky! the reason cars are expensive in Malaysia is due to the import tax the government impose right? so right now, with the exemption..this is pure profiteering by UMW. they can price the Ct200h as such as the rest of the cars sold here are still taxed.. so relatively it is "cheap".this is what you call getting slaughtered. but yes, relatively, it is cheaper. sort of like the lesser of 2 evil. edit: i don't wish to draw comparisons to other countries cause honestly, its not relative. i can draw comparison to USA and its so much cheaper there. then we can argue till cows come home.

I think you are contradicting yourself. You said dont' compare with other countries cause they are very much cheaper then us. OK, then how then you conclude we are expensive if you dont compare with others. You must bench it against the same car to know whether it is overprised here. Dont tell me you are comparing with Honda insight and say it is expensive.
All companies are profit driven. If they can price it higher and sell, why dont they. I am sure you will dothe same if you are in their shoes. The question should be can they sell at that price. I am not defending UMW and I have nothing to do with them. I am just a CT buyer. For your information, bulk of the cost also goes to the AP, maybe u didn't know. |

If you look at Thailand, CT price in relation to insight are the same , i.e. about 2 times. I think comparing thailand would be more sensible. How much is the basic CT in UK? Ours is 160k ++ i.e. about 1.6 or 1.7 times of insight. And don't forget, insight is thailand made whereas CT is japan made. That make a big difference in term of quality and the issue of AP. AP cost much more than RM10 k nowadays. At least double or triple now. I am not saying UMW not making a lot, I am saying ALL car dealers make a lot, be it francise holder or parallel importers.

I think u have mistaken it with Prius, there is Thailand build unit for Prius. However afaik Prius sold in Malaysia comes from Japan too. Ppl think it this way, if the tax is in place, you'll have to pay much more than the price they are selling. |

What I am saying is , generally car in s'pore is 50 % more expensive than malaysia but this CT is 75% more expensive than us so it only means our is cheaper comparatively. I never said car price in s'pore should be the same as m'sia. If the tax is not exempted, i believe lexus will price it around RM270k range for the premium model as it is around the IS250 basic model price.

U only save fuel if u maintain 70-80kph max speed. Any higher than 90kph and FC will be higher than non-hybrid cars.
Saw a few Insight speeding along NKVE recently... woo... all new WUX and WVA plates. Must be testing power here and there. But, in reality... these owners are not saving fuel at all... more like burning more than their old cars. This post has been edited by acbc: Mar 17 2011, 09:12 AM |

Just test drove the car last week, interior and exterior superb. Complaints - back seat too small, might have difficulty fitting 5 people. Engine and power delivery wise - a bit of underpowered but cannot demand much since it's hybrid.

Is the ct200h luxury worth it?
Extra feature includes retractable side mirror by button, electric seat for driver, "i-drive" and nav, led lights, keyless entry, better audio plus cd changer and more airbags. Is the remote touch controller (Lexus i-drive) & electric seat worth it? |

QUOTE(koopa @ Jun 1 2011, 02:08 AM) Is the ct200h luxury worth it? The diffeence is 28k, you will get Lexus's NAV with bluetooth, rear camera etc. , performance damper, smart entry (keyless entry), CD changer with additional 4 speaker/sub-woofer plus AMPs, power seat with memory, retactable side-mirrors, LED head lights with auto leveling and rain sensor wipers. Lastly, security horn and intruder sensor. Extra feature includes retractable side mirror by button, electric seat for driver, "i-drive" and nav, led lights, keyless entry, better audio plus cd changer and more airbags. Is the remote touch controller (Lexus i-drive) & electric seat worth it? Airbags the same i.e. 8. I opted for the luxury version. |

I just went to lexus just now. A new batch of ct200h reached Mutiara Damansara. From my observation, about 80% (or more) opted for the Lexus standard. There is only 1 grey, 1 silver, 1 red, 1 yellow, no black. The rest is white.. About 10-15 of them. I cant recall how many
Just incase anyone is curious. This post has been edited by koopa: Jun 20 2011, 01:22 AM |

There come in batches , one batch all standard then next batch all luxury. The number of standard vs luxury almost the same. However, I have to agree with you, most opted for white.

Hi all,
I finally tested this car last Sunday with my wife. I make the deposit for standard. The SA told me the car will only arrive on November and expected clearing from custom with this and that... So early december can only get the car... I book for red color with black leather. SA told me interest rate is 2.6%... Anyone get cheaper than this? I just put 1500 for deposit and actual bank interest rate will follow once bank loan sign befire 1 month car arrive... |

Those who buy lexus don't complain, they just buy to drive.  |

Prius is more comfort than Insight but it feels platicky everywhere as it is using eco friendly recyclable material. Engine is same with ct200h, but you will get the luxury feel the moment you enter the ct200h.QUOTE(limkj @ Sep 15 2011, 01:39 PM) When will you be getting you car?

Pick up from 0 to 100 km/h, comparable. In fact, i feel CT200 has better pick up. After 100, maybe Honda had the edge when Vtec kicks in but CT200 is much more stable. Better handling.
Full tank can do about 600 km, 32/33 liters of fuel hence 10 cents per km , mainly city drive. Honda FC is about 17/18 cents per km. This post has been edited by tpleong: Sep 15 2011, 09:47 PM |

Are people unafraid of the battery pack in the car which cause cancer? All electric cars emits electro magnetic wave. It's like sitting next to a microwave or stay under the tension wire. Car companies have been keeping quiet

I went to Mutiara motor today and checked some cars out there before getting ct200h. The saleman said the ct200h is a very untouchable car and it needs lots of money for maintenance like rm380 for resetting the system if you changed the sport rims and anything. Besides, he said the battery replacement needs about 30thousands and the battery does not last that long. Is that true? I'm worried about this.

He kept persuading to use the budget to get a toyota harrier cause it is the last generation already. The car depreciation will not be that bad like Ct200h. He said if you want to sell ct200h after couple of years, they will cut down your value for cost of replacing a new battery and blablabla. Besides the maintenance for harrier is cheaper than ct200h alots. I just want to know what he said is true or he was just simply craping?

Besides the maintenance for harrier is cheaper than ct200h alots. I just want to know what he said is true or he was just simply craping? Ah! Finally the truth come out. He want to sell you the Harrier.You need to do more research on this car & the battery before you make up your mind. I have & never look back. Make sure you speak to someone actually have own this car not sales representative. I've got a 2006 Prius Gen 2 since new done 150k miles (240k KM) on the clock, been running till I sold it last year Nov 2011 and it still going well. The battery didnt lost any charge still like new. The truth is the battery itself have got a protection module to manage the charge & discharge, so it will never going too flat or over charge. Yes climate play a big part as well but Prius is everywhere in Texas & Arizona USA and they dont have a lot of battery problem even in the same climate as Malaysia. They been using the same battery since 2004 from Gen 2 Prius to today CT200h. The replacement is not as much as some claim here as RM30k +. More like RM10k. Unless it down to UMW or the government. Good luck for your research. |

1 of the set back for the standard model is no electric retractable mirror =.= It's supposed to be luxurious...even some local cars has it...imagine u bring your GF around then you park somewhere sempit ,better to close your mirror to avoid it getting scratched. After that u have to open your window and ask your GF tolong u to pull your mirror to close it lol.

The side windows cant be installed unless you find a half cut CT200H and get the spare from there..
Maybe the Standard spec can save more fuel coz less stuff installed in the vehicle.. hahaha.. |

Anyone mind to give their 5 cents on their CT200h or test driven one?
Interested to find out. In fact, CT200h in Malaysia cost almost the same as UK/US... just slightly more expensive ie additional 40k... so not too bad comparing to non-tax exempted continentals. |

With the kind of promotion Mercedes is currently having for the Mercedes C180 (Promotion price 198k+ for C180), is there any reason to choose CT200h over C180?
IMO, You'd have to really like Lexus to want to buy it over a Merc. |

How about you? both ct200h and prius are hybrid car la .. u expect them to sell at 150 and 110 k .. u say honda insight price is fair ? what is their engine cc and their hybrid system? the bottom line is u dont know the price of both car when arrived at kastam .. if u take notice of those price then u will realise all car in malaysia is very expensive .. |

anyone know if the lexus CT200h basic model has day time running light?
i know the CT200h luxury has LED headlamp (not HID) vs CT200h base model which has halogen lamp. What about the DRL line below the headlamps? to be honest, CT200h is around rm40k more expensive that what is being sold in the US or UK, which to me is a steal compared to other CBU in Malaysia. Road noise is well insulated- comparable to german makes. |

I haven't have the chance to test a Lexus CT yet, no time for it at the moment, but thinking more of getting the base model. I guess I can make do without the extra 4 speakers and some gadgets. If the 6 speakers system work superb, I'll just install my existing Alpine sub... should do the job. |

Hi, I am planning to get a second hand Ct200 for wife. Any owner here have any good feedback on this car. Need to clarify few things:
1. Is the 8 years warranty for 2012 and 2013 CT200 or just for new car sold in 2015? 2. What is different between Low spec and luxury spec since the price difference quite significant? Thank you very much!! |

Basic comes with 6 speakers while luxury is 10. Luxury have additional reverse camera, navigation with a touch control in the central console. Im also looking at the luxury version but wondering if it's worth it compared to mk6 Gti which at similar price at similar year. |

I have a question for all CT200h owners.
Is your back wiper still short or has it grown yet? I got some pills to help it get longer. Pm for info, complete confidentiality. This post has been edited by djtong: Oct 24 2016, 12:59 AM |
