Cost of ownership
The CT 200h’s class-leading cost
of ownership profile is
underpinned by its low emissions
performance, which qualifies it
for a zero annual Vehicle Excise
duty (road tax) charge, plus the
bonus of exemption from the
London congestion charge.
The benefits extend to company
car drivers, who enjoy the
lowest, 10 per cent rating for
benefit-in-kind company car tax,
and for fleet operators, who
earn the advantage of a
first-year 100 per cent write
down allowance against
corporation tax. Factor in the
CT 200h’s impressive fuel
economy (68.9mpg official
combined cycle figure), and
designed-in low service,
maintenance and repair costs,
and you have a package that
offers a clear cost advantage
over its segment rivals.
Service intervals are annually
or at every 10,000 miles, which
helps maximise component
lifetime. The Lexus Hybrid Drive
system is engineered for low
maintenance requirements and the
hybrid battery is designed to
last the lifetime of the car. |
