Other features include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.9-inch curved touchscreen infotainment head-unit with BMW's latest iDrive 8 software, a head-up display, connectivity tech and driver assistance systems. 

The BMW XM is powered by a 4.4-litre V8 plug-in hybrid that produces 644 BHP and 800 Nm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The SUV is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). 

The XM also comes with a 25.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which allows the SUV to run in electric-only mode for around 50 km with a top speed of 140 km/h.
