The P7 is its flagship sedan and the G9 could be based on it 

Most recently, it unveiled its most affordable and advanced vehicle the P5 in August which has come out as a potential challenger to the Tesla Model 3. The new teaser hints at a vehicle that could be the largest one Xpeng has offered to date - with it being larger than even the G3.

The delivery period for the vehicle in question is likely going to be in 2022. The car is likely based on the same platform as the P7 which has a wheelbase of 3,100 mm and is already quite a bit longer than the G3.
