lexus CT200h NCAP rating

The Lexus CT200h Wins Another Safety Award

April 26, 2012 · pinkstones

The new Lexus CT200h is now one of the safest vehicles in its segment, as it has been awarded a prestigious 5 Star Rating for both the Euro NCAP and the Japanese NCAP

The new Lexus CT200h has won the Grand Prix award for the highest safety performance among all vehicle models rated under the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP) vehicle-safety evaluation tests. The CT200h also received the Five-Star Award from the 2011 JNCAP and is the first vehicle model to receive the Grand Prix under the new overall safety performance assessment structure introduced in 2011.

CT 200h Stoke Staffs

The CT200h received the maximum 5 Star Rating for achieving the highest level of safety for vehicle occupants, as well as for pedestrians.

In Europe the CT200h has also received the Euro NCAP prestigious 5 Star rating in 2011.

As the testing of the vehicles in the NCAP test is so demanding, manufacturers can find it difficult to get the 5 Star Rating. This makes this achievement even greater – if you ever needed further evidence that Lexus cars are built to the highest quality, here it is.

EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show 2012

April 19, 2012 · pinkstones

hybrid fleet offers

The EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show was held at the Silverstone Wing and sought to demonstrate the latest in alternative fuelled and low emission vehicles. There were demo cars from all manufacturers in the UK who offer EV and hybrid cars, for all guests to take turns in test driving all cars on Stowe Circuit!

Naturally, Lexus and Toyota were there too (we are leading the way with hybrid technology after all!) Our business sales specialist Vikki Barcroft went to the event with the business sales specialist from our group’s Toyota dealership. Below you can see their photographs from the day.

Hybrid fleet offer

The new Lexus CT200h was considered a “significant” car at the show and queues were large throughout the day as people were eager to have their test drive.The Lexus RX was also available to drive and it was clear to see people enjoyed the Lexus cars. They were very popular on the day because of their low CO2 emissions, excellent BIK percentage, zero road tax and luxury interiors.

There were also various seminars during the course of the day, talking about the cars available and how technology is progressing.

Event organiser and Fleet World Managing Editor, Ross Durkin, said, “Fleet managers have a duty to ensure that they are conversant with all the latest technology – not just what is available today but also what is in the pipeline from the major motor manufacturers and component suppliers. The fact that so many people turned out at the EV & Low CO2 Fleet Show clearly indicates that there is still a thirst for information on these technologies among professional fleet decision makers.”

He added, “We had excellent feedback from all the exhibitors and are already working on plans to develop the show next year”

The atmosphere was lively and full of anticipation as everyone was eager to see the long-awaited car. A string quartet played beautiful music, the champagne was flowing and delicious food was given out to the guests. The new Lexus GS was in the centre of the showroom, under a cover and some blue spotlights.

We even had a table which was like a giant iPad – you could sort through images of the new GS and also watch videos. The table was a big hit on the night with a constant crowd around it as people wanted to learn about the car before the big reveal.

As the new Lexus GS was revealed everyone gathered round and listened intently to the speaker as he talked through the highlights of the car. The boot size was demonstrated by revealing 4 golf bags could fit inside very easily! The car’s styling, driving performance, fuel efficiency and comfort were strong talking points throughout the evening and the moment the guests were able to sit in the car to experience it for themselves, they did! The model on display was the GS250h and it was very popular all night as people took it in turns to explore the interior, the comfortable seats, the large multimedia display and the remote touch control. The G250h is one of only six new Lexus GS cars made before the launch in June and they’re currently touring the UK for the preview events.
