Meet the Million-Mile 2014 Lexus CT200h
Are you looking for a used vehicle that stands a good chance of sticking around for a while. Say, maybe for one million miles? You might want to consider the Lexus CT 200h, a hybrid hatchback that Lexus offered for one generation in North America, from 2011 to 2017.
Why do we pick out that particular model, and that particular distance. Because one owner of such a car has just passed the million-mile mark, which means he’s driven it 1.6 million km. In just 10 years.
How’s that? The vehicle’s owner, Texas resident Nader Assaad, makes long-distance deliveries every day, and regularly covers the equivalent of 500 km a day, and sometimes 800. He chose the CT 200h not only for its practicality, but also because of its hybrid configuration, which reduces fuel consumption. It's easy to maintain an average of between 5.0L and 5.5L/100 km with this vehicle.
One particularly interesting element that relates to the hybrid powertrain, is that the engine cuts in and out frequently, making its durability all the more remarkable. It's often said that Toyota's hybrid technology is the most proven on the market. Here's the proof.
