A recent post on Weibo by a Chinese auto blogger features spy images of what might be the first public glimpse of XPeng’s new EV sedan, codenamed “F57,” and rumored to officially debut as the P8 or P9. The camouflaged images reveal a slim but spacious sedan with a unique rear, reportedly equipped with LiDAR. However, it seems that the final car may not feature LiDAR. Check out the spy images below.

XPeng Motors is a Chinese EV automaker that is expanding into new markets worldwide, particularly in Europe. The automaker currently offers five all-electric models, including the Tesla Model Y competitor G6, and most recently, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) named the X9. In recent years, XPeng’s focus has been on larger EVs, with no entry in its “P” line of vehicles since the P5 in 2021. However, recent spy images captured in China show that XPeng is working on a new EV sedan, codenamed “F57,” which could debut this year as its third model in the “P” series.
