Here's why:
* Hybrid System: The CT 200h uses a hybrid system, combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor. The torque output is split between the two power sources.
* Engine: The 1.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine produces 111 lb-ft of torque.
* Electric Motor: The electric motor provides 153 lb-ft of torque, which is available instantly.
Combined Torque: The combined torque output from both the engine and motor is 199 lb-ft, but this is not a straightforward sum due to the complex interplay of the hybrid system.
It's important to remember that the CT 200h's torque is available in a different way than a conventional car. The electric motor provides instant torque, which contributes to the car's smooth acceleration and responsiveness, especially at low speeds.
