The midsize luxury sedan is in a hurry to get a nip and tuck. It was only three years ago when Lexus introduced the seventh-generation ES and now Toyota's luxury division is gearing up to present the mid-cycle facelift. Joining the bold LF-Z Electrified concept at Auto Shanghai, the updated midsize sedan is going to break cover on April 19. Meanwhile, a teaser photo+video combo has been released to ease the wait.
