It's the A321neo plus plus, 240 seats, new wing, ultra high bypass GTF engine, 5000nm range. Boeing is going for the 797, which will take years to bring to market.

It's virtually impossible to shorten a airframe and not have the aircraft end up overweight. That is why shrinking aircraft are rarely ever a success. 757-100(never built but proposed) 737-600, A318, A350-800 ect...
