The 2025 BMW XM is a plug-in hybrid SUV that takes the experience of owning a sports utility vehicle to the next level. There are tons of reasons to love the new XM, from its sleek exterior design to excellent fuel efficiency and beyond. Here are our five top favorite features of this state-of-the-art ride.
1. High Performance with Electric Power
The XM’s high-performance hybrid engine has impressive specs, starting with its 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V-8 hybrid engine. This powerhouse has 644 horses and 644 lb-ft. of torque, allowing drivers to go from 0 to 60 in an impressive 3.6 seconds. You can also get up to 30 miles of uninterrupted all-electric drive time, which is perfect for running errands around town without using any fuel.
2. Excellent Handling and Comfort in All Conditions
The new BMW XM does an excellent job of taking on the road with all-wheel drive and standard double wishbone front suspension. There are also active anti-roll bars that help it corner on a dime, plus rear-wheel steering for extra agility. This makes the XM the brand’s most powerful SUV to date.
To help make the drive even more comfortable, the XM offers heated 12-way power front seats and a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel column.
3. Superior Safety
When safety matters most, the XM’s Active Driving Assistant Professional delivers a wide array of features, like:
- Active Blind Spot Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Collision Warning
- Surround-View Camera
- Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change
- Hill Descent Control
- Electric Parking Brake
4. Advanced Technology
This year’s XM maxes out the tech, with a 14.9-inch digital instrument cluster and head-up display, so you never have to take your eyes off the road to get critical information about your drive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility also come standard with the XM’s base trim, along with convenient benefits like proximity-sensing keyless entry and push-button start.
5. Active Interior and Exterior Lighting
The cabin of the BMW XM offers active interior lighting that helps alert you to things like incoming phone calls or an open door. This can be particularly helpful when you’re listening to music on the included 16-speaker sound system or the available Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System. The vehicle exterior also features perimeter and approach lights, cornering lights, and LED brake lights so you can be easily seen by other drivers.
