Overview
The BMW XM comes equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine, which is no stranger to the powertrain lineup. However, what sets it apart is the addition of an electric motor and a battery pack, resulting in an impressive 644 horsepower. When we took it for a spin, we were blown away by the power it delivered right from the start. We initially estimated that it would take around 3.8 seconds for the XM to reach 60 mph, but to our surprise, it surpassed our expectations with a lightning-fast 3.4-second sprint to 60 mph when we tested it on our own turf.
The XM is at a slight disadvantage compared to other performance SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. These SUVs managed to reach zero-to-60-mph times of 3.2 seconds in our testing. Unlike them, the XM utilizes a coil-spring suspension system with adaptive dampers and active anti-roll bars. While it may not be as smooth and composed as it would be with an air suspension, the Comfort driving mode provides a comfortable ride without being punishing. Switching to Sport mode, the XM’s handling becomes responsive and eager, making it a thrilling experience on twisty roads.
