The BMW XM, the latest from the German auto major's stable, represents the epitome of modern engineering.

The German Swiss Knife

What happens when you blend an eight-cylinder powerhouse with a plug-in hybrid system, all wrapped up in a three-tonne sports utility vehicle? You get the BMW XM, a marvel of modern engineering. The 2023 BMW XM is one of the most sophisticated automobiles ever created. This 644-horsepower plug-in hybrid SUV can glide silently through city traffic or unleash its full power on the open road with equal ease. As the first electrified vehicle from BMW's M performance division, the XM stands out not just for its impressive specs but also for its sheer versatility.

The first thing you notice about the XM is its size. It's just massive. The width of its cabin is more than the entire Mercedes S Class. Then there is the design. With its aggressive bulges, split headlights, and large front grille with illuminated rings, it is anything but subtle. If you ask me, it even makes the mighty G-Wagen look nimble.
