BMW has revealed its new Concept XM SUV — a bespoke, large SUV from BMW M — the second in the brand’s history after the M1 supercar from the 1970s. The SUV will also be BMW M’s first-ever electrified model, with a high-performance 750hp, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain built around its famed 4.4-litre twin-turbo petrol V8.
Derived from the BMW X7, the Concept XM ushers in a distinctive and angular new exterior. The nose is dominated by a re-imagined kidney grille framed by LEDs flanked by slim headlights. The sides feature prominent squared-off wheel arches filled by 23-inch wheels and a roofline that tapers towards the rear. The concept wears a new two-tone paint finish and the space grey lower section is separated from the matt gold-bronze upper by a glossy ‘black belt’ that rises towards the rear.
Coming to the rear, notable styling details include the slim LED tail-lamps that are black when not illuminated, twin sets of vertically stacked, hexagonal exhausts and a prominent diffuser. The concept also features a BMW roundel etched into the rear window.
