Default Difference between variants

Hello all,
New member, hoping to be CT200h owner soon.

As is my thing, I'm doing a lot of research into the CT before I take the plunge on a second-hand car. From everything I've read 2014 is the absolute minimum if you want to avoid problems and 2015 is the preferred minimum. (Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of pre-2014s that are fine, but I'm a bit picky coming from driving Volvos for 15 years.)

My big question is about the differences between all the variants; S, SE, Advance, Advance Plus, Sport, F-Sport, Luxury, Executive, Premier. Is there a definitive list or table showing ALL the differences?
The best I could find is a 2-star review of the CT200h on the Evo website (I'm a new member, so can't post a link) I couldn't even find a table of differences on the Lexus site.

I know that S and SE and the lowest, Advance would be my minimum, Premier seems unnecessary for me. I understand the F-Sport has particularly hard suspension (as are all pre-2014s), so I don't have any particular interest in that variant.

Thanks in advance! (advance plus! )
Dax.

Google "Lexus CT200H brochure 2014". I tried to attach it here but .16 mb too big.

Lays out each package and options.

Happy shopping

Hey Homer,
Thanks so much for your reply.

Unfortunately the Lexus brochures you mentioned don't have any mention of the variants except for F-Sport. I searched for the work 'advance' and it only comes in "...technologically advanced..."
There are some mentions of Touring, Premium and Navigation packages, but nothing about the variants.
I found another Lexus document (CT model brochure 2015), but that only mentions Eco, Comfort, F-Sport and Executive under the 'Addition Equipment' heading.

Seems crazy that there isn't a table form detailing all of this.

Anyone else want a try?

Cheers!
Dax.

In the brochure they had this below. I thought this is what you were looking for. The tables which show what is available for each package in clear detail don't look to be available anymore. Could try lexus.co.uk, they still have the CT there but options are fewer and different than they were on US models so...maybe not of interest.

Rereading your post, just occurred to me you've mentioned S and SE. At least in the US, those trims are in regard to Toyota vehicles, not Lexus.

Lexus has trims like Premium, Luxury, F-Sport, Executive (but not for CT), and a couple others like shown on the image I posted.

Hey Homer,
Ahaa, it seems like the 'grades' were done differently in the UK and US! I guess I'll keep my eyes on Advance and Luxury, and then be sure to ask if the car has reversing camera. SatNav is of no interest as I run Waze on my phone anyway.
Thanks for your help.

If anyone from the UK has any info on the variants, I'd love to hear it.

All the best,
Dax.
