2024 Bmw Xm Review and Specs

It's not Peppa Pig's gloomy older brother driving that large SUV with the irate-looking snout rushing up the highway that you're staring at; it's the 2025 BMW XM, a plug-in hybrid that's packed with luxury and power but not quite polished enough to compete with the finest in its exclusive class. The plug-in hybrid system of the XM produces up to 738 horsepower in the XM Label variant and 644 horsepower in ordinary versions thanks to the twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. In our tests, we were able to reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with the base trim, but the XM could have been better at moving fast than it was at going slow. When you want to cruise about town only on electricity, there's a little battery pack on board, which you may do. Based on our tests, when you want to cruise around town only on electricity, there's a reasonably substantial battery pack on board that can get you 29 miles. The XM's interior is luxuriously furnished, cozy, and roomy. The dashboard features a curved touchscreen up front, and you have access to the newest driver-assistance technologies. Furthermore, BMW even throws with a set of cushions for the rear seats. That about covers it the XM: a size-XXL SUV with a less-than-ideal blend of performance and luxury that can slam you into the seat with its twin-turbo V-8 howl.

What Is 2025 Bringing?

Although the 738-hp XM Label version was added last year, the 2025 model only has slight alterations.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

The BMW XM's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine isn't brand-new, but it is coupled with an electric motor and a battery pack to produce 644 horsepower. The coil-spring suspension system of the XM is enhanced with active anti-roll bars and adjustable dampers. Although the ride isn't as smooth and compliant as we'd like, it is tolerably absorbing when driving in comfort mode.

According to BMW, the XM's internal charger can juice the battery at a maximum power of 7.4 kW and can charge the battery to 100% capacity in just over three hours.

A Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System with illuminated tweeters is an optional audio enhancement.
