    Frequently Asked Questions

    The BMW XM features a plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an electric motor. This setup delivers a combined output of 480 kW (644 horsepower) and 800 Nm of torque, providing robust performance for drivers.
    The BMW XM accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 4.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 km/h. This swift acceleration is notable for an SUV of its size and weight.
    The BMW XM offers an electric-only range of up to 82 kilometers on a full charge, making it suitable for short commutes and city driving without engaging the gasoline engine.
    Using a Level 2 charger, the BMW XM's 25.7 kWh battery can be fully charged in approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, allowing for convenient recharging between drives.
    The BMW XM's interior is designed with high-quality materials, including standard Merino leather upholstery. The cabin provides ample space for passengers, with rear-seat occupants benefiting from generous legroom and comfort features such as their own climate controls and charging ports. However, some reviewers have noted that the cargo space is slightly reduced due to battery placement.
    Equipped with an adaptive suspension system and active roll stabilization, the BMW XM offers agile handling for its size. However, some drivers have reported that the ride can be stiff, especially over uneven road surfaces, which may affect overall comfort during longer journeys.
    Critics have pointed out that the BMW XM's exterior design is polarizing, with bold styling elements that may not appeal to all tastes. Additionally, the interior, while luxurious, shares similarities with lower-priced BMW models, leading some to question its uniqueness given the vehicle's premium price point.
    The BMW XM has a starting price of approximately CAD 220,000. This positions it at the higher end of the luxury SUV market, with some reviewers questioning its value proposition compared to competitors offering similar performance and features at lower price points.
    As of recent reports, there have been no widespread recalls specific to the BMW XM. However, potential buyers are advised to stay informed about any future updates or recalls by consulting official BMW communications or authorized dealers.
    Owners have noted that while the BMW XM offers impressive performance and luxury, maintenance costs can be higher than average. Regular servicing is essential to keep the vehicle in optimal condition, and potential buyers should consider these ongoing costs when evaluating the vehicle.

    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The BMW XM features a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine combined with an electric motor, producing 480 kW (653 hp) and 800 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. The plug-in hybrid system also provides an electric-only range of 82 km, making it more efficient for short commutes.
    Despite its 6,057 lbs (2,750 kg) weight, the BMW XM features advanced active roll control, rear-wheel steering, and M adaptive suspension to enhance handling. This makes it feel surprisingly agile for its size, giving it sports car-like precision on twisty roads.
    The cabin features premium materials like vintage leather, carbon fiber, and Alcantara, providing a high-end experience. The exclusive M Lounge offers spacious rear seating, heated and ventilated seats, and ambient lighting integrated into the roof for a sophisticated atmosphere.
    The BMW Curved Display integrates a fully digital instrument cluster and iDrive 8 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Bowers & Wilkins sound system, head-up display, and 360-degree camera system add to its tech appeal.
    The aggressive and polarizing design sets the BMW XM apart from other luxury SUVs. The illuminated kidney grille, stacked exhaust pipes, and sculpted bodywork make a strong visual statement.
    With an electric range of 82 km, the BMW XM can function as an EV for short trips, reducing fuel consumption. The Level 2 charging takes 3 hours 30 minutes, making it convenient for overnight charging.
    The M1 and M2 programmable driving modes allow drivers to personalize settings, including steering, suspension, and powertrain response, making the BMW XM adaptable for both daily comfort and high-performance driving.

    Cons

    Weighing over 6,000 lbs (2,750 kg), the BMW XM is heavier than rivals like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and Audi RS Q8, which affects acceleration, making it slower than the BMW X5 M and X6 M in performance tests.
    Unlike many competitors that use air suspension, the BMW XM relies on steel springs, making the ride stiff and less comfortable over rough roads. It lacks the smoothness expected in a luxury SUV.
    While the bold design appeals to some, others criticize the oversized kidney grille, unusual proportions, and stacked exhausts, making it one of BMW’s most polarizing designs.
    The trunk space is reduced due to the hybrid system, with 527 liters available. Additionally, no under-floor storage is provided, making it less practical than rivals like the Range Rover Sport PHEV.
    With a starting price of $220,000 CAD, the BMW XM is more expensive than high-performance SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX707, and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, but isn’t as fast as these competitors.
