BMW XM 2023 surprised with its appearance and characteristics (photo)
The new 2023 BMW XM is the first pure M model with an electrified powertrain. It also became the most powerful M or BMW production car ever made.
This massive, extremely brutal exterior sports crossover does not look very dramatic. The massive radiator grille of the BMW XM is not only impressive in size, but also illuminated. The rear part has narrow lights and flat body surfaces. Huge wheels of a special aerodynamic shape.
But the technical filling is also impressive: the BMW XM hybrid drive combines a 4.4-liter gasoline V8, which has a double turbocharger, with a capacity of 483 hp. with a 197 hp electric motor integrated into an 8-speed automatic transmission. The total power of the hybrid system is 644 hp. with a torque of 800 Nm. The hybrid recharges the battery from the outlet.
The BMW XM can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, to 200 km/h in 14.3 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 250 km/h or a less limited 270 km/h if you purchase the optional M Driver’s Package.
The base XM in the US is $159,000 plus $995 shipping, and the first examples will arrive in North American dealerships in early 2023.
