The New Lexus ES to Make Its Global Debut at Auto Shanghai 2015
BEIJING – April 10, 2015 - The new Lexus ES luxury sedan will make its global debut at Auto Shanghai 2015 on April 20, 2015.
The Lexus ES established a unique and important position in the luxury sedan segment with its elegant styling, extraordinary quality, and Lexus' best-in-class service when it was introduced in 1989. More than 1.7 million units have been sold globally over the past 25 years.
The new Lexus ES maintains its classical elegance while conveying a more dynamic experience and luxurious craftsmanship. The ES will be on display April 22-29, 2015 at the Lexus booth in Hall 7.1 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center at Auto Shanghai 2015.

Doesn't surprise me. The ES is in a field now that has a lot more competitors than it used to, a more dramatic front and rear, I bet some molding on the sides, interior enhancements with much better materials. Very excited because I am entirely underwhelmed by the current car...which is why I upgraded to the GS.

yeah, this is a MMC, not a full redesign. my guess is it's gonna have the same powertrain as the new RX350 which has a more powerful 3.5L V6 and 8 speed auto. wow, if that's true then it'd definitely take some sales away from the GS sedan, i know not everyone cares about RWD vs FWD.

I dont think there will be moulding on the doors, the industry as a whole moved away from those ugly things. My guess is new rear tail lights, the new headlights and grill, and stitching/pleather on the center console sides. A new power train would be wishful thinking, but Id like to be proven wrong

Misleading thread title, which is becoming an epidemic in the auto journalist field. This is not "the new ES," but a basic facelift. New lights, grille, and interior trim will be about it, so nothing surprising here. I'd be shocked if they added the new RX engine. Those who have bought the current ES have not complained about lack of power.
