bmw has just unveiled the new XM Label Red, a 784hp plug-in SUV that will make its first public appearance at the Shanghai Auto Show in a few days. However, it seems that the German brand will soon introduce another member of the XM family, which it will be called XM 50e. In fact, the manufacturer has shared a teaser video of this new model.
BMW is currently reluctant to reveal anything specific about this new car. We only know what he will have Plug-in power unit and can count on power reserve only on electricity 76-84 km through the WLTP cycle. As the model to be positioned under the BMW XM Label Red and the already known BMW XM, the XM 50e version should forgo the V8 in favor of a 6-cylinder powertrain.
It is speculated that this could be a BMW M760e capable of developing 571 hp. (420 kW) with a torque of 800 Nm. Obviously, everything needs to be treated with due care, since there is still no official information. There is no doubt that the BMW XM family is destined to expand. According to some reports, the BMW XM 50e will also not be sold in the US market, where only V8 versions will be offered.
Therefore, the future BMW XM 50e seems destined to be sold only in certain markets, for example, in Europe. More accurate information, as already mentioned, still does not exist. However, it is possible that this model can be shown at the Shanghai Motor Show along with the new XM Label Red. While it’s too early to talk about pricing, the XM 50e will definitely cost less than the current XM, which starts at €178,800 in Italy.
So, all that’s left is to wait a few more days to see if there’s any news on this new plug-in SUV.
