After our spies nabbed a completely naked example of the 2014 Lexus CT 200h in F-Sport trim earlier this month, we had a pretty good idea of what the Japanese brand had in store for the entire range, so these first official shots of the regular model will come as no surprise to anyone following the news.

As with the F-Sport model, the plain CT 200h has been updated with a new Lexus “spindle grille” featuring a wider lower opening on the revised front bumper, together with newly designed alloy wheels and a restyled rear bumper that does away with the vertical contours on the corners.

Lexus said that the 2014 CT 200h’s world premiere will take place at the 2013 Guangzhou Motor Show in China on November 21, where it will release all details on its revised compact hybrid hatch.
