The BMW XM is a revolutionary vehicle that combines the extravagant design of the M HYBRID drive system with the progressive luxury ambience, creating a fresh interpretation of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) concept for the high-performance segment. The newly developed M HYBRID drive system provides an overall output of 480 kW/653 hp, with the combination of the combustion engine generating up to 360 kW/489 hp, and the electric drive system delivering up to 145 kW/197 hp.

The BMW XM is the first BMW M original since the BMW M1, and it is the highlight of the brand’s model offensive in its anniversary year. The exterior design of this high-performance SAV is precisely crafted, recalling the legendary mid-engined sports car. The production of the BMW XM will commence at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the USA in December 2022, and it will arrive at dealers worldwide in spring 2023. The key sales markets for the BMW XM will be the USA, China, and the Middle East.

The M HYBRID drive system in the BMW XM is underpinned by a newly developed, classically high-revving V8 engine with cutting-edge M TwinPower Turbo technology. The 4.4-litre unit features a cross-bank exhaust manifold and an optimised oil separation process. The eight-cylinder engine is supported in its task by an electric motor that is integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission. The motor’s propulsive power is instantly on tap when pulling away, providing unhesitating response to every movement of the accelerator.

The M HYBRID drive system produces maximum overall torque of 800 Nm/590 lb-ft, with the engine generating up to 650 Nm/479 lb-ft, combined with the electric motor developing up to 280 Nm/206 lb-ft. A pre-gearing stage increases the electric motor’s effective maximum torque to 450 Nm/332 lb-ft at the transmission input.
