Xpeng plans to launch two vehicles in 2023 — a purported B-class vehicle and the other a C-class vehicle.

Xpeng President Brian Gu said the B-class will launch in the first half of next year and can compete with Tesla's Model Y mid-size SUV.

Xpeng is aggressive in launching cars because it looks to gain share in China's fast-growing EV market, challenging Tesla and Warren Buffett.

Gu said the B-class vehicle will launch at the beginning of 2023 and is "going to target a significantly bigger market segment" than the P7 sedan.
