Lexus has revealed the eighth generation of its popular sedan, the ES, at the Shanghai Motor Show 2025. The updated sedan features a slew of changes over the current model.
The most significant change of all is the addition of electric powertrain options on the car. It will now come with four broad powertrain choices, the details for which are mentioned in the table above.
Lexus has made the ES a lot more aggressive-looking, with contours on the door panels, Camry-like front end, aggressive bumpers, and a thin strip for the rear lights. The sedan also measures longer, wider, and taller than before.
The inside looks rather bland, with a large touchscreen at the centre of the dashboard. Key Lexus ES features include a stand-out hexagonal digital driver’s display, ADAS functionalities, a premium sound system, and more.
The new generation Lexus ES launch in India is expected to take place sometime in 2026. It remains to be seen the powertrain options that the India-spec car will be offered with.
Lexus has a considerably wide range of cars and SUVs currently on sale in India, including the Lexus NX, RX, and LX series of SUVs, the current generation ES sedans, and the ultra-luxurious LM MPVs.
