BMW Concept XM previews company's only hybrid 'M' SUV; launch in 2022 - In Pics

BMW has unveiled the Concept XM hybrid SUV to preview the upcoming SUV that will celebrate the 50th anniversary of BMW's M division in 2022. This is only the second bespoke model in its history of BMW, first being the M1 launched in 1978. The large SUV will be BMW M’s first-ever electrified model (hybrid) model with a high-performance 4.4-litre petrol V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 740bhp. Essentially, the BMW XM is the X8 SUV if going by the BMW's naming convention. However, it will be sold solely as an M car and hence BMW XM. Check the images of the BMW Concept XM show car here.
