BMW’s flagship XM marks a shift for the luxury Bavarian automaker. As their first
plug-in hybrid in the high-performance category, it blends raw power with eco-friendly technology. With an electric range of up to 88 km, the XM is perfectly suited for daily city driving without contributing to local emissions. Yet it doesn’t compromise on performance, delivering the drive that fans expect from the renowned M-series.
At the core of the BMW XM sits an innovative plug-in hybrid system. This cutting-edge drivetrain combines a robust 489 hp gasoline engine with a 197 hp electric motor, resulting in a formidable 653 hp output. The seamless integration of these two forces ensures impressive acceleration and effortless thrust across all speeds. For those demanding the ultimate driving experience, BMW offers the Label Red edition – boasting an astonishing 748 hp, it stands as the most potent production vehicle ever to wear the BMW badge.
The XM’s cabin reflects BMW’s focus on functional elegance. The layout emphasizes both comfort and practicality, with controls intuitively placed for easy access. Material selection goes beyond mere aesthetics, prioritizing quality and longevity. This attention to detail extends to every aspect of the interior, from the seating to the dashboard.
“With the XM, we’ve pushed boundaries in interior design. Our goal was to create a space that’s both driver-focused and luxurious, without being ostentatious,” explains BMW’s Head of Design Domagoj Dukec.
The XM also features a refined audio experience. Engine sounds are subtly channeled into the cabin, allowing drivers and passengers to connect with the vehicle’s performance without compromising comfort. An optional premium sound system elevates the in-car audio experience, perfect for music enthusiasts. The result is a harmonious blend of performance feedback and acoustic pleasure that enhances the overall experience.
The XM benefits from BMW’s rich motorsport heritage, sharing key technologies with the M Hybrid V8, the manufacturer’s endurance racer that competes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other legendary competitions. This racing DNA is evident throughout the vehicle.
Take the cooling system, for instance, which was developed to maintain optimal temperatures even under extreme conditions.
In the same spirit, aerodynamic innovations derived from motorsport contribute to the XM’s stability and efficiency, with carefully sculpted body panels and underbody elements that manage airflow at high speeds.
At the heart of the XM’s performance is the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic. It offers three distinct shift modes, from smooth to lightning-fast, allowing drivers to tailor the XM’s character to their preferences or driving conditions. This adaptability extends to the suspension system, which continuously adjusts to road conditions and driving style.
Yet despite its high-performance credentials, the XM doesn’t compromise on comfort. Its chassis provides a smooth ride for long journeys but can instantly sharpen up when the road demands it. This versatility — luxurious cruiser one moment, sports car the next — sets the XM apart in the luxury SUV market, offering a unique blend of performance and refinement that truly sets it apart.
