The BMW XM is one of the most iconic luxury cars ever made. Its massive V8 engine, style and performance have made it one of the best cars ever made created. It isn’t just an automobile; it is a way of life. There has been a lot of buzz around the BMW XM and its return to India ever since it got a trademark application filing. Today, BMW India officially announced the return of the BMW XM. And it is coming with a bang.
BMW India launched its most powerful car in the Indian market – XM. The BMW XM has been launched in India at Rs. 2.60 Crore (ex-showroom India). Originally previewed as a concept in late 2021, the XM is BMW M’s second-ever bespoke model after the mid-engine M1. Deliveries for the XM SUV will begin in India from May 2023.
Under the hood, BMW has combined M Hybrid Drive with 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 and electric motor installed in the box. The combined output of the XM is 644hp and 800Nm, making it the most powerful car in the company’s portfolio. All this power boosts the SUV from 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds while the maximum speed is limited to 250 km/h.
The XM can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds.The XM can also use a 25.7 kWh electric battery to provide a range of up to 88km. The XM sits on a double wishbone suspension and 5 link suspension with adjustable shocks. The SUV also features a 48V active roll stabilization system and is the first BMW M car to feature the active installation as standard.
The BMW XM retains the same design as the concept with split headlights covering the famous BMW grille. The side profile is also unchanged with the window line receding and the prominent wheel arches preserved. Yellow gold is used in the shoulder line and production style.
The cabin meanwhile is toned down as compared to the concept with design elements in line with other newer BMWs. The cabin is finished in dual-tone brown and blue upholstery with the XM getting the single-piece curved display housing the digital instrument cluster and touchscreen – a design seen on other new BMWs. The air-con vents and centre console are completely redesigned from the concept with a more mainstream BMW design.
The cabin is finished in a stylish dual-tone brown and blue upholstery, while the rear design remains true to the concept with the production XM retaining the twin stacked exhaust and slim tail lamps – toned down from the concept. Rounding out the design are unique 21-inch alloy wheels, though options of up to 23-inches will also be offered.
The XM isn’t a small SUV either, with dimensions similar to the full-size X7. The X7 is the longer and taller SUV, though the XM is wider and sits on an identical 3,105 mm wheelbase. Unlike the former though, the XM is a 5-seater only.
