The M team’s all-new XM super SUV is designed to be as comfortable strolling down Rodeo Drive as it is carving up a mountain road.
. Tying it all together is a design that BMW M CEO Franciscus van Meel best described as"extroverted."
One of those flashes came on a stretch of wide, fast, sweeping highway. Thanks to the potent combination of a massive battery, understressed V-8, and overpowered motor, the XM in its default hybrid drive mode can travel at speeds up to 80 mph on electrons alone, the sole noises being the dull roar of the XM's 23-inch tires and the wind whipping around the A-pillars.
Though its big battery and powerful powertrain can make the XM feel like a pure-electric vehicle on the highway and around town, its party trick is its TikTok-friendly launch control. First, enter one of the two performance-focused M Modes. Next, make sure the all-wheel-drive system is set into the rear-biased Sport setting , and that the transmission is both in automatic mode and set in its most aggressive of three shift settings. Finally, ensure that traction control is in Sport mode.
