Hi all, does anyone have a new shape (post 2013) CT200H? If so, I just wondered what the real MPG was like?

Lexus quote 70mpg, but as usual with these hybrids, it's all down to driving style and journey type. But was just wondering what the average would be?

Thanks in advance

Spritmonitor.de records an average of 52mpg for 164 cars. HonestJohn has it about the same with a sample of 186 cars.

As an aside, my ageing gen 2 Prius with 111000 miles on the clock just managed 61mpg on 500 mile, almost entirely motorway trip which I think is pretty decent. It is odd how many people still state that the motorway mpg is terrible.

Probably because they drive at 80mph, rather than 60.

Wife's '13 reg did 45-50 mostly London commute, town and odd longer trip. Not driven for economy.

Just driven 320 miles back from outskirts of Paris in her 16reg, all but 30 miles on motorway, with cruise set at 80-85 (speedo over reads) and got 40.5mpg brim to brim.

Light feet and slow speeds required to get over 50. OK on smooth French motorways but awful ride and noisy on m20,m25.

Fine for an auto used in town poor as a motorway car, but low BIC hence her current choice.

Or company one used to do high 50's varied by 10 depending on the driver though

The cruise was set to 80, true speed about 76.

I'm getting 50MPG usually (2014 model). Style of driving and the kind of road speed makes a big difference.
