The HS 250h is no longer a part of the Lexus lineup, which leaves just the CT 200h as the automaker’s hybrid-only vehicle. While the sedan may have been a flop, the five door hatchback has earned a bit of success recently, so much so that Lexus could be looking for a supplemental sibling. That car could come in the form of an already working Toyota and rumor has it, there might just be a Lexus version of the Prius C in our not too distant future.
According to an Autoblog article, Lexus is working towards a vehicle to fit underneath the CT 200h in the automaker’s lineup. Speculation points at the littlest Prius supplying its DNA for the upcoming car which would more than likely use the moniker “150”. Considering the CT is a similar size to the base Prius, the theory of a C based Lexus appears to be rather strong.
