Lexus has unveiled its new mid-size ES sedan in a single image, ahead of a full reveal at the 2018 Beijing motor show next week.
Described as "more than just a pretty face" in press materials, the ES runs with the Lexus Spindle Grille up front, flanked by headlights similar to those of the bigger LS sedan.
The grille itself is a bit more restrained than on some other Lexus offerings, although there's no mistaking it for anything else.
The new-look 2016 Lexus ES luxury sedan has been unveiled at the Shanghai auto show, bringing the brand's aggressive styling language to what is arguably the Japanese brand's most conservative model.
The revamped Lexus ES is said to feature "an elegant and progressive styling package" that is "daring", as well as "enhanced luxury interior construction" in a cabin that "exudes luxury".
Lexus admits that it “screwed-up” its growth trajectory and hindered its full Australian potential when the previous generation Lexus ES was not launched locally in 2007.
Lexus International’s vice president, Mark Templin admitted at the launch of the sixth generation Lexus ES that the company made the wrong decision by not producing the fifth-generation ES in right-hand drive.
