It will keep much of the original styling.
Despite the shift to all-electric vehicles being made in the auto industry, the end of the gasoline engine is still many years away. The XM is a plug-in hybrid SUV which will bridge the gap at BMW. It will serve as the brand’s halo vehicle. The concept was unveiled in November, and new spy photos show a design that will not change for production. We have our best yet look at this beastly model thanks to the new spy photos.
BMW removed some of the test car’s cladding underneath the camouflage. This allows for more details to be revealed about the model’s design. The front bumper’s styling is less angular that the concept’s. We can see a little bit. We don’t expect any major changes as BMW already confirmed that the production XM would retain more than 90% of the original design. You’ve seen what you will get.
BMW is expected to offer three power stages for the XM, with the most powerful variant featuring a twin-turbocharged V8 and plug-in hybrid technology. In the concept, the electrified powertrain produced 750 horsepower (551 Kilowatts) as well as 737 pound-feet (1,001 Newton-meters) torque. It appears that this is what the production version will produce. It will be the brand’s most powerful production vehicle. It also had an all-electric range of up to 30 miles (48 km).
BMW has not yet provided details about when the XM could be produced. The SUV will make its debut in the summer, before it goes into production later in the year. BMW XM will be the brand’s flagship, combining luxury and high performance in a practical package. The flagship model should be priced at $150,000, which is likely to be the starting price.
