CAR magazine UK gets its first taste of the new BMW XM hybrid SUV with pictures, specs and early verdict
It’s BMW’s new hybrid flagshipBMW-style polarisation 2.0 comes in the shape of this 750bhp badass SUV in shitstorm livery which takes no prisoners. Have they gone nuts in Munich – or is that hewn from solid Marvel meets Manga PHEV behemoth firmly on the pulse of time after all?
With the XM, subjectively at least, the front end is 90 per cent grille and ten percent body colour. Surrounding the XXXL double air intake are origami surfaces made of sheet metal and composites which throw hard shadows complemented by continuously changing shine effects. According to the M marketing squad, main rivals are similarly imposing fast lane regulars like the Mercedes GLS63 AMG and the G63 AMG, Lamborghini Urus, LWB Bentley Bentayga and the new Range Rover SVO.The one we’ve tested is the XM 60, complete with 641bhp and 590lb ft powertrain. It’s a PHEV, with a ‘hybrid-specific’ all-wheel drive system and a claimed e-range of 50 miles. And, if you may remember, that’s less than the power output teased by the original XM concept.
