Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
BMW XM
  • Spacious interior that’s rich in quality, long pure EV range of over 80km, exciting performance and sharp handling, great infotainment experience, attention-grabbing design
BMW XM
  • Design while attention-grabbing is quite polarising, plug-in hybrid powertrain makes it significantly heavier than rivals, stiff ride quality, battery pack doesn’t support DC fast charging
