2024 BMW XM: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 BMW XM is the arrival of the 738-hp XM Label as the new top-performance trim. The standard XM otherwise changes very little, aside from the addition of Highway Assistant.
About the 2024 BMW XM
1st generation (G09), second model year; the higher-output XM Label joined the lineup for 2024.
BMW positions the XM as a stand-alone M flagship SUV that mixes plug-in-hybrid power, dramatic styling, and a lounge-like cabin. It is meant for shoppers who want very high performance and a large, luxury-focused interior, but also want something more attention-grabbing than a typical fast luxury SUV. The electrified V8 setup is the defining difference: it gives the XM both short electric-only driving capability and the kind of output BMW uses to separate it from most rivals.
The standard XM remains BMW's bold plug-in-hybrid performance SUV, pairing a 644-hp twin-turbo V8 hybrid system with AWD and a lounge-like rear seating area. The new XM Label raises output to 738 hp and adds a more dramatic trim-specific look, while features such as four-wheel steering, a head-up display, and an illuminated Alcantara headliner reinforce the XM's performance-and-luxury focus.
