The M3 and M5 sports sedans are among BMW M’s best-known models. However, the performance division has recently taken many new turns, and the new 2024 XM brings together many of these innovative features in a single car—appropriate given that this is intended to be M’s new flagship.
The XM introduces a new plug-in hybrid powertrain that is the first hybrid to ever bear the M badge as an SUV that is only offered as an M. We now have all the information on the production version of the XM, which is scheduled to go on sale in the United States in the first quarter of 2024. The concept version of the XM caused controversy when it made its debut last year.

2024 BMW XM; Powertrain
The 4.4-litre twin-turbo V-8 and an electric motor inside the eight-speed automatic transmission make up the XM’s powertrain. A 25.7 kWh battery pack is also present, providing an estimated 30 miles of electric driving range.
The Label Red version, which is expected to be even more potent and has a stated 735 horsepower and 735 pounds of torque, will have a total output of 644 horsepower and 590 pounds of torque. The XM is now the most potent BMW currently in production. It will need all that power to move its 6062-pound bulk.
2024 BMW XM: Performance – Engine, Transmission, and Other
In the XM, a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V-8 that has been around for a while is combined with an electric motor and battery pack to produce an impressive 644 horsepower. 735 hp will be added to the limited-edition Label Red model’s horsepower.
We observed the powertrain’s quick punch during our first test drive of an XM prototype in Austria and calculated that it should propel the XM to 60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds. It will be comparable to sport SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus and the Lamborghini Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, both of whom, in our tests, achieved zero-to-60 mph times of 3.2 seconds.
In its Comfort driving mode, the XM’s coil-spring suspension system, enhanced by adjustable dampers and active anti-roll bars, offers a surprisingly pleasant ride. The XM’s handling is responsive and eager when it is in Sport, which makes it enjoyable to drive on winding roads.
Battery Life, Charging, and Range
The 25.7 kWh battery pack in the XM is rated to provide around 30 miles of electric-only range on a single charge. According to BMW, the XM’s built-in charger can juice the battery at a rate of up to 7.4 kW and charge the battery to 100 per cent in just under three hours.
Fuel efficiency and actual MPG
Although the XM is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), we are not anticipating Prius-level fuel efficiency from this large, high-performance hybrid. The EPA has not yet provided figures for the XM’s fuel economy. When we have an opportunity, we’ll test the XM’s real-world performance on our 75-mph highway fuel efficiency route and update this article with the findings.
2024 BMW XM: Cargo, Comfort, and the Interior
The 2024 BMW XM interior looks extremely high-end, down to the available leather upholstery that has a vintage appearance and was initially seen on the concept car. The XM’s cabin is strictly two rows instead of a giant panoramic sunroof. Customers can choose a faux-suede headliner with a geometric pattern and stunning fibre-optic lighting. We’ll update this piece with further information as soon as we learn more about XM’s standard and extra-cost luxury amenities.
