BMW has revealed its most powerful M model ever, introducing a performance-focused SUV that delivers an astonishing 748 brake horsepower (bhp) and 1,000Nm of torque. This immense power allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
The standout feature of the new BMW XM is its hybrid powertrain. The SUV can travel up to 86 kilometers in full electric mode, highlighting the brand’s commitment to combining performance with efficiency.
BMW will offer the XM in two versions: the 50e and the high-performance XM Label. The XM Label is equipped with a robust V8 engine and has a top speed electronically capped at 250 km/h. Buyers who opt for the M Driver’s Package can raise this limit to 290 km/h.
Enhancements in the XM Label model include standard 22-inch double-spoke alloy wheels fitted with mixed-size tyres, replacing the previous 21-inch setup. Buyers can also select optional 23-inch M light-alloy wheels in black. A new lighting feature adds drama to the front design, with the signature kidney grille now featuring a “welcome light animation” that activates at night.
BMW has also upgraded the hybrid system’s charging capabilities. The XM now supports AC charging at speeds up to 11kW.
Pricing details for the Irish market have not yet been announced.
