EV Channels Review
The reviewer provides a critical assessment of the BMW XM, deeming it a "wonderful driving car at speed" but ultimately questioning its "M" designation and high price point. While acknowledging its impressive driver assistance systems, premium sound, and quiet cabin, the reviewer finds the electric driving experience clunky, especially at low speeds, and criticizes the aggressive combustion engine engagement. The XM's performance is deemed underwhelming for its $165,000 price, with the reviewer suggesting it would be better suited as an "X" model focused on luxury rather than performance. The video also details the experience of renting an EV through Hertz's "Manager's Special" at LAX, ultimately selecting a Kia Niro EV over a Chevrolet Bolt EUV due to its superior charging speed and updated features. The Niro is praised as an excellent rental car, offering good range, driver assistance, and technology for its discounted price.
