BMW brings XM PHEV to Malaysia

MANILA: BMW Malaysia has confirmed the launch of the BMW XM, the first M model to be driven by a plug-in hybrid powertrain, in June.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What powers the BMW XM?

    The BMW XM runs on a combination of a new 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine and an electric motor.
  • How much is the BMW XM in Malaysia?

    The BMW XM will be offered in Malaysia for RM1,398,800.
  • The series production of the BMW XM started in December 2022 at the BMW Group's Spartanburg facility in USA.

    The BMW XM will be offered in two trim levels: the Shadow Line and the Night Gold Line. The only difference between the two variants is the gold-colored accent/upper window line trim, rear apron, and wheel contrast finish on the Night Gold Line.

    The BMW XM measures 5,110mm long, 2,005mm wide, and 1,755mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 3,105mm and a boot capacity of 527 liters.

    As mentioned, the BMW XM is the first M series model to be equipped with a plug-in hybrid engine. It runs on a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The former is a new 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine with a maximum power of 489hp and a maximum torque of 650Nm. The electric motor, on the other hand, not only boosts efficiency but also gives the car's M performance aura an added dimension.

    The total output is 653hp and 800Nm of torque. The power is transmitted to the wheels via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission.

    The BMW XM can accelerate from a standstill to 100kph in 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 250kph. With the M Driver's package, it increases to 270kph and the electronic top speed is capped at 140kph. The BMW XM can go 88km on electric power alone.

    The package also includes a flap-controlled sports exhaust system, Intelligent M xDrive all-wheel drive system, basic 4WD setting, 4WD Sport mode, M Hybrid technology, and a 29.5kWh battery pack with a 7.4kW AC charger.

    In terms of exterior design, the BMW XM comes with adaptive LED headlights with high-beam assistant, a large kidney grille with hallmark M horizontal double louvers, split lighting units with modules for daytime running lights (DRLs) and low/high beams, a sloping roofline, 23-inch M light-alloy wheels, and twin hexagonal tailpipes.

    The BMW XM has a cozy interior that is packed with features for comfort and convenience. Customers can choose among four upholstery options: Leather Merino Deep Lagoon with vintage leather, Leather Merino Silverstone with vintage leather, Leather Merino Black, and Leather Merino Sakhir Orange.

    Other interior features include a BMW curved display with information display and  high-resolution touchscreen control display, M leather steering wheel, M seatbelts, M multifunction seats, active seat ventilation, four-zone automatic air-conditioning control, massage function on driver and front passenger seats, ambient light, BMW Iconic Sounds Electric, and Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System.

    The BMW XM comes with a set of M Sport brakes. The actual braking performance uses regenerative braking.

    The Adaptive M Suspension comes with steel springs as standard, instead of the usual air suspension, ensuring a smooth drive.

    The BMW XM is available in seven colors: Cape York Green, Carbon Black, Marina Bay Blue, Toronto Red, Mineral White, Black Sapphire, and Dravit Grey. It retails for RM1,398,800.
