BMW Asia has unveiled its latest offering, the BMW XM, a high-performance car dressed in Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) clothing that features cutting-edge drive system technology and a unique vehicle concept. The BMW XM has its own distinctive character and an expressive appearance, developed fully independently with no conceptual baseline found in the BMW model range.
The BMW XM is the first BMW M original since the BMW M1 and is equipped with a newly developed M HYBRID drive system that fuses future-focused qualities with traditional virtues. It is powered by a classically high-revving V8 engine with cutting-edge M TwinPower Turbo technology, delivering an overall system output of 653 hp. The eight-cylinder engine is assisted by an electric motor, integrated into a newly developed eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, and produces maximum overall torque of 800 Nm.
The BMW XM also features the largest selection of driver assistance systems offered for any high-performance vehicle from BMW M GmbH. The standard-specified Driving Assistant Professional package combines Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function with a host of other features, including the Steering and Lane Control Assistant, traffic light recognition, automatic Speed Limit Assist, and Active Navigation.
“The BMW XM makes a strong statement from the moment you lay eyes on it. It is the epitome of luxury, extravagance, and breathtaking performance,” said Mr. Lars Nielsen, Managing Director of BMW Asia. “It is made for those who are unconventional, courageous, expressive, and desire the utmost in excellence and luxury. This SAV heralds a new era in terms of drive technology and driving experience to astound all BMW M fans.”
The BMW XM began production at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the USA in December 2022, and it is now available for viewing at all authorized dealers.
