and simultaneously its first-ever plug-in hybrid, the XM has been consistently splitting opinions like a stubborn piece of cheese since its reveal last September. Some have changed their thoughts on the so-called Sports Activity Vehicle , while others remain steadfast in theirs, but now that BMW has dropped this gallery, we’ll let you be the judge.
Regardless of your opinions on the exterior design, the interior of the XM is undoubtedly luxurious, and actually looks like quite a nice place to be. For the price they’re charging, which starts at $159,995 climbing up to nearly $170,000 with all options ticked, BMW wanted to fit this SUV with an opulent cabin to match, and we think they succeeded.
models. Even the rear passengers are treated to quilted leather galore and even their own little pillows, ensuring that those sitting in the back don’t feel like an afterthought.In terms of performance, the base XM offers a thrilling 644 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, which should help offset its 6,062 lb curb weight. This power comes courtesy of a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which works in tandem with a single electric motor to drive all four wheels.
Aided by a sophisticated launch control system and the grip of M xDrive, the SUV goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph , or a less restricted 168 mph if the optional M Driver’s Package is specified. The top speed in pure electric mode is 87 mph , while to charge the 25.7-kWh battery pack that offers up to 30 miles of emissions-free range, you’ll need 3.25 hours.
And there you have it. The BMW XM, a hybrid SUV that’s generating as much buzz as it is polarizing. Will it be a hit or a miss for BMW? Only time, and the discerning tastes of consumers, will tell.
