Recently, overseas media exposed a set of BMW's new high-performance SUV - XM mass production road test photos. The new car is a flagship high-performance SUV independently developed and built by BMW's M department, and the car's domestic road test spy photos have also been exposed, and it is expected to land in the Chinese market. It is reported that the new car may be officially listed in overseas markets in early 2023.
In terms of appearance, it can be seen that the new car will retain the iconic "double kidney" grille design of BMW models, and the grille size is larger, the edges and corners are more distinct, and its shape is connected to the two bulges above the cover, which is very powerful. At the same time, the new car also adopts a split headlight design, and the upper and lower light groups are flat horizontal layout, which further enhances the visual sense of technology. In addition, the lower air intake opening of the new car seems to be more square, but the details revealed seem to show that it will retain the more exaggerated air intake opening design of the concept car.
The new car positions a large SUV, and its relatively large body size can be felt from the picture, and its length and wheelbase are expected to be on par with the BMW X7. However, compared to the BMW X7, its body part is obviously more low-lying, the rear of the roof has a significant sunken design, and it is equipped with a large five-spoke rim.
In terms of the rear, the D-pillar of the new car has a certain inclination angle, and like the concept car, it does not have a significant spoiler. The interior light group of the new car's taillights is the same as that of the concept car, which is a very slender shape, and the overall light shell is a design that protrudes outward, with the bulging shape of the rear of the car, which is very powerful. In addition, the exhaust layout of the four outgoing bilateral outlets has also been retained, and the vertical layout is also relatively rare.
In terms of power, it is reported that the new car will provide three power versions of the model, of which the strongest power version is the plug-in hybrid system composed of V8 twin-turbo engine and motor, and its system has a combined maximum power or reach 750 horsepower and a peak torque of 1000 Nm.
