What the numbers say about the Lexus CT

The number of Lexus CTs on the road is down 0.2% on a year earlier, behind the +1.5% for all cars and behind Lexus as a whole (+4.6%). It is within 5% of its peak of 30,018 (September 2021).

Only 3 were first registered in the UK from July 2025 to June 2026, so the Lexus CT is effectively no longer sold new here: the number on the road can only shrink as cars are scrapped, exported or taken off the road.

100% of licensed Lexus CTs are hybrid electric (petrol), against 9% of all cars. There are almost no electric or plug-in versions on the road.

Limitations

Licensed means taxed or tax-exempt and allowed on the road at the quarter end; SORN cars are registered but declared off the road. DfT groups cars by its own “generic model” (LEXUS CT), which 73 Auto maps to the Lexus CT; body styles and derivatives sold under that name are included. The Great Britain quarterly figures and the UK annual age table are separate official tables, so their totals differ slightly.
