All-New Lexus ES Sedan Set to Make Its Debut on April 23rd at Shanghai Auto Show

Friends, let me tell you, Lexus is all set to reveal the all-new ES sedan at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show on April 23rd! This is a big deal because the current ES has been around for about seven years with just a few facelifts here and there

So, this new car will be the eighth-generation model

Now, friends, what's interesting here is that Lexus is calling the new ES a global flagship model

That’s a bold statement! Lexus is building up to the big reveal with teaser images and preview videos

From what we can see so far, the car looks like it’s gotten bigger, with a longer wheelbase, which is a feature that’s particularly popular in China

Why, you ask? Well, the Chinese love having extra rear legroom, and this could be one reason why Lexus is debuting the new ES in China

The teaser videos also show off some cool features, like sweep-style daytime running lights at the front and a light bar connecting the rear tail lamps

It also has black accents on the bumper and sleek multi-spoke alloy wheels, which give the car a sporty look

Lexus is also hinting that this new ES will come with advanced electrification technologies—meaning an upgraded hybrid powertrain and possibly a plug-in hybrid option

In one of the teasers, there’s even a charging port cap, so it seems pretty likely! What’s really intriguing, though, is that Lexus is calling this the global flagship

This raises some questions about the future of the current LS sedan

If the new ES comes with a long-wheelbase (LWB) variant, this might signal the end of the road for the LS

It’s all still up in the air, but we’re definitely excited to see what Lexus has in store for us!
