The electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission can whisk you away from a stop with surprising quickness, as it’s packing 194 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. To the XM’s great benefit, being a PHEV greatly improves the experience, giving it an identity all its own.Ī giant 29.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack - that approaches some low-range EVs and is larger than what the i3 had when it first launched - is mounted in the underbody and provides an all-electric range of about 30 miles, per BMW. You could go ahead and dismiss it for not being a pure BMW M car, but you’d also be missing out on the best performance SUV BMW has screwed together yet.Ĭomparisons to the X5 M Competition are inevitable after a glance through the spec sheet - it utilizes BMW’s modular CLAR platform shared with the brand’s other rear-drive vehicles - but a few minutes behind the wheel dispel those thoughts. Its design, both inside and out, features all sorts of new flourishes like a stacked quad exhaust, look-at-me exterior lighting, a wild geometric headliner and astounding natural leather on the dash. Not only that, it's the first plug-in hybrid that's a fully-fledged M product. It is the first production BMW to be an M-only model with no lesser variants since the iconic M1 45 years ago. The 2023 BMW XM is chock full of firsts and new concepts from BMW.
