My technical contact at Curt advised that their Class I trailer hitch # C11200 that fits the 2013 Lexus CT200H has not yet been confirmed as a fit for the 2014 model year. Newer vehicles can require a few months for the aftermarket manufacturers to test-fit their products and as of this point Curt has not yet confirmed this hitch as a fit for the 2014 CT 200H. I suggest you check back with us periodically on the hitch fit.
If you are looking for a way to transport bikes you could use a trunk mounted bike rack as we have racks that are confirmed to work for your vehicle.
I would recommend the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer.
The rack comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
