Video Review Australia: 2024 BMW XM Label Red – A Supercar in SUV Clothing

The All-New 2024 BMW XM Label Red is here and it comes with a very sleek and modern design.

BMW is releasing a brand new, bespoke M car for the first time since the BMW M1 supercar – meet the BMW XM PHEV SUV for 2024. This new model marks a groundbreaking shift to incorporate BMW M’s high-performance capabilities into an SUV body style. As the first of the new-generation BMWs branded as the new flagship, the BMW XM exudes a raw, in-your-face attitude meant for a specific audience in search of exotic levels of power and opulence.

A Striking Exterior Design

Just look at the new BMW XM Label Red and you’ll immediately notice its sporty, sleek body and those massive moulded wheel arches that scream power. The front end styling is sporty, with the trademark BMW kidney grille growing to supremely massive Gapingly sizes.

Those kinds of details, such as the kidney grille with the lighting and the rear light bar, help to set the XM Label Red apart from the rest. When I first looked at some of the photos of the BMW XM Label Red, I was impressed with the sheer size and the ‘in your face’ looks that the car has – this is not a car that is going to try and sneak in the background.

BMW has not left anything to chance when it comes to the appearance of the BMW XM and it seems to have been made with the express purpose of eliciting strong passions and reactions.

Ferocious Supercar Power

Take the hood of the BMW XM Red Label, and you’ll discover a plug-in hybrid powertrain that has a capacity of 750 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. This enables an exciting acceleration time – BMW specifies it to be 0-60 mph in only 3.6 seconds. This is complemented with a turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine combined with an integrated electric motor.

This is an even higher-performance Label Red variant arriving next year with an overall output in excess of 750 horses and real supercar territory.

The driving of the BMW XM Label Red promises to be as thrilling as any car you might have dreamt of, and this with seemingly unlimited amounts of power just a touch of one’s right foot away.

In my view, I do not think it would be a bad idea to get behind the wheel of this high-riding monster!

High-tech Cabin to Go with the Luxurious Theme

Considering it has a six-figure price tag, the interior of the BMW XM Label Red is adequately luxurious and bathed in opulent touches. Passengers are pampered with premium leather, while the extra M badge on interior trim hints at the vehicle’s luxury pedigree. The curved displays are eye-catching and incorporate BMW’s current iDrive 8 software with new functions.

Cordial area affords adequate sitting in the style of the room and can comfortably seat up to 6 adults. Well, a top-tier sound system comes equipped as well and so does the BMW XM Label Red, which offers performance-enhancing luxury as its supreme goal. All of that enables one to have an excellent vehicle for testing the XM’s enormous potential for both driver and passengers.

A New Flagship for BMW M

The 2024 BMW XM Label Red is significant for BMW M GmbH because it serves as the new halo model that the brand urgently needs for its continued success and growth. It certainly strikes a new tone that could demonstrate the division’s readiness to come up with something extraordinary and radical.

BMW defines the BMW XM Label Red as a car with M genes at their purest – which should suit this endeavour perfectly. The basic pricing starts at $160,000 in the US; thus, the positioning of the XM at the top of the BMW portfolio. Of course, the BMW XM Label Red is probably too over the top for some customers but I think, it will do a great job as an extremely limited technological statement vehicle for the company. Exciting times ahead!
