The BMW XM has finally been launched in India. The completely built-up (CBU) unit is available for bookings at a BMW dealership network. Deliveries will start in May 2023.
The XM. Why is it special? Because for the first time ever in India, we are getting proper, and I mean proper performance SUV. The X7 is already a strong performer, but with the M treatment, it is even more powerful and crazier and shoots from 0-100 km/h in a quick 4.3 seconds.
As BMW M GmbH’s 50-anniversary celebrations continue, it brings high performance like never experienced before. The first-ever XM is the first standalone M model since the BMW M1. Like the legendary mid-engined sports car M1, the XM has been developed fully independently, with no conceptual baseline to be found in the BMW model range.
Performance
This Bavarian juggernaut is limited to 250 km/h, although this figure rises to 270 km/hr with the optional M Driver’s Package. The note of a V8 engine is unmistakable, but the XM also offers an emotionally rich sound experience in pure-electric mode with BMW IconicSounds Electric. The fourth generation 8-speed M Steptronic transmission delivers smooth gear shifts and top levels of power delivery and shift comfort as well as impressive efficiency.
Three driving modes can be selected using the M Hybrid button on the center console. The hybrid default setting for the Intelligently controlled interplay of the combustion engine and electric motor maximizes efficiency or performance depending on the requirement.
The first-ever BMW XM exudes emotional potency beyond traditional norms and conventions A unique vehicle concept, it wraps up various elements of an innovative drive system, high- performance technology in a head-turning design.
President Speaks
Mr. Vikram Pawah, BMW Group Indio said. “Driven by motorsport, the BMW M automobiles have lived up to the highest standards of agility, dynamics, and power. Powerful engines combined with an expressive design, exude passion in every single aspect of these high-performance automobiles. A new era is beginning, an era of emotion, electrification, and powerful technologies. Our very own interpretation of an expressive lifestyle is shaping BMW M in the future.
A “BMW M only creation, the first-ever BMW XM is an extravagant statement of the heart of the luxury segment. It has a resolutely unique identity like no other model in the BMW line-up. It has the best combination of electric power from BMW eDrive, the superior handling of xDrive, and the uncontested high-performance of M. The XM is unapologetically forward-thinking and designed to break the norm. BMW M fans are all set to sit back and feel the power of something truly new.
