Lexus CT 200h and F Sport refreshed for 2014

Lexus has taken the wraps off a refreshed 2014 CT 200h at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China, updating the car for the first time since its debut as a 2011 mode, and it'll also be appearing at the LA Auto Show today. The biggest visual change is of course the addition of the new corporate front fascia which Lexus refers to as the "spindle grille." Other changes on the outside include a choice of new 16-inch and 17-inch alloy wheels featuring a ten-spoke design. The CT 200h has also been treated to redesigned rear bumper, the most noticeable changes being the black lower center section, and L-shaped reflector housings.
