AutoExec Summary

The BMW XM, the second standalone M model, is a near-three-tonne SUV that aims to make a bold statement in the super SUV market. With a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 and electric motor delivering 480kW and 800Nm, it accelerates from 0–100km/h in 4.3 seconds. Priced at $302,200 before on-road costs, it sits below competitors like the Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX, and Bentley Bentayga. However, its ride comfort is compromised by a firm suspension setup, despite its impressive power and luxurious features.

Brands mentioned: BMW, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley
