4 Standout Features of the 2025 BMW XM

Choosing the 2025 BMW XM as your family car guarantees two things: road-dominating power and uncompromising comfort. This is backed by the SUV’s thunderous hybrid powertrain, standard all-wheel drive (AWD), luxurious M Lounge, and other standout features.

4 Standout Features of the 2025 BMW XM

Powerful Hybrid System

The heart of the BMW XM is its capable plug-in hybrid system that incorporates a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 and a high-performance electric motor. The setup generates an earth-shaking 644 hp and 590 lb.-ft. of torque and delivers power to all four wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. When put to the test, the mighty SUV catapults to 60 mph in only 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 168 mph.

Although it dwarfs the performance figures of most other SUVs, the entry-level XM is not the most powerful M car produced. That distinction goes to the XM Label trim, which offers an amped-up power output of 738 hp and 738 lb.-ft of torque. This translates to a lightning-fast 0 to 60 mph time of 3.6 seconds.

Standard All-Wheel Drive

BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) system, M xDrive, comes standard on the XM. The system monitors driving conditions and adjusts the power distribution between all four wheels in real-time. Additionally, an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch enables the system to increase and decrease the power delivered to each axle.

By default, M xDrive distributes power with a rear-axle bias. This gives the SUV sportier handling dynamics, resembling that of traditional BMW sports sedans. When 4WD Sport mode is engaged, M xDrive amplifies this effect and further improves the XM’s acceleration and turning capabilities.

All-Electric Mode

Drivers can save fuel and enjoy a silent drive by activating the XM’s all-electric mode. The plug-in hybrid SUV is capable of driving up to 30 miles without its combustion engine before the battery bottoms out. You can recharge the battery by simply turning on the combustion engine or by plugging the SUV into a 120V home outlet or a compatible public charger. A Level 2 charger fully replenishes the SUV’s all-electric range in under 10 hours.

Luxurious Seating

The BMW XM is a luxury SUV out of the box, offering first-class comfort for up to five passengers. The front row features Power M multi-function seats with power adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Meanwhile, the rear row offers a spacious M Lounge, which consists of three split-folding seats with heating. Premium M Merino leather covers all seating surfaces and illuminated XM-specific badges adorn the headrests of the front seats.
