View Personalised Offers on Check Offers The 2026 BMW XM has been unveiled ahead of its official debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 14, and it arrives with a more streamlined lineup and a range of minor updates. While the current model is globally available in three variants, the 2026 lineup ditches the base trim, leaving behind the range-topping XM Label and XM 50e. This means the XM Label is the only one from the lineup to feature a V8 powertrain. The 2026 XM Label is powered by a plug-in hybrid setup that features a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic and a 19.2 kWh battery pack. While the V8 alone makes 585 bhp, the electric motor integrated into the transmission delivers up to 197 bhp, making for a combined output of 748 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. With this, the XM Label is claimed to be the most powerful BMW M production model ever.
