BMW has made changes to its XM lineup by reducing the number of available trim levels from three to two, offering only the 50e and the upscale Label versions. The performance specs for both models remain unchanged, with the 50e powered by a turbocharged hybrid straight-six engine that generates 469bhp and provides an electric-only range of approximately 50 miles, courtesy of a 25.8kWh battery.
On the other hand, the Label variant features a robust V8 engine that boosts the power to 738bhp, although its zero-emission driving range is slightly lower at 47 miles. Notably, both models now support enhanced charging speeds of up to 11kW.
In addition to the performance specifications, BMW has expanded the equipment offerings for the Label, introducing features like a Welcome Light Animation and optional larger 22-inch or 23-inch alloy wheels. New upholstery color options have also been added, including ‘Night Blue Merino’ and ‘Vintage Coffee Brown’.
The cabin of both models boasts luxury features, such as a 14.9-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch instrument display, a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, and appealing interior design elements. Pricing for the 50e starts at £112,580, while the Label can reach £154,470, positioning these vehicles at a premium level in the market.
This recent update reflects BMW’s commitment to enhancing their luxury electric offerings while maintaining impressive performance, catering to consumers who value both technology and style in their vehicles.
