BMW XM 2022: A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT ITS EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR FEATURES

EV Channels Review

The BMW XM is presented as a bold, polarizing, and statement-making luxury SUV, distinct from existing BMW platforms like the X7. The reviewer highlights its massive road presence, particularly noting the striking 23-inch wheels and unique bronze XM badges. The exterior design is described as a blend of coupe, crossover, and SUV elements, featuring a distinctive illuminated grille, split headlights, and a reinterpreted Hofmeister kink. Inside, the XM mirrors the upcoming X5 M facelift with a large curved display and iDrive 8, though the reviewer expresses a preference for physical buttons over the touchscreen-only climate controls. Rear-seat space is noted as comparable to the X7, with ample legroom and headroom, and a unique, comfortable bench design. The powertrain is a plug-in hybrid featuring a twin-turbo V8, with the reviewed model producing 650 horsepower, and a more powerful 750-horsepower "Label Red" version planned. Pricing starts around $160,000, potentially entering Lamborghini territory. The reviewer anticipates a full driving review soon.
