The BMW XM 2023 is equipped with an active roll stabilization system with electronic control and rear-wheel steering, which is a first for BMW M models.

The BMW XM 2023 features a bold and distinctive exterior design. The front end showcases a large kidney grille combined with illuminated strips and a 2-tier headlight system similar to the new BMW 7-Series. The bonnet is designed with prominent creases for a sporty look.

The rear of the car features sleek taillights, a glossy black diffuser on the rear bumper, 2 vertical reflectors, and a twin stacked exhaust system.

The BMW XM offers customers the choice of 21-inch, 22-inch, or 23-inch wheels. The 23-inch wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires with sizes 275/45 at the front and 315/40 at the rear.

The interior of the BMW XM 2023 shares many similarities with the new X7, including the dashboard and central control cluster.

The car also comes with some luxurious features such as a digital instrument cluster integrated with a touchscreen center display, a panoramic sunroof with about 100 LED lights that create eye-catching lighting effects based on driving modes, premium leather upholstery, and the latest iDrive 8 infotainment system, among others.

For safety, the BMW XM 2023 is equipped with advanced driver assistance features such as emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, and front and rear cross-traffic alert.

According to sales advisors, the expected price of the car is around 12 billion VND. If the actual selling price is accurate, the XM will be the first BMW model in Vietnam with a price of over 10 billion VND, double the price of the X7.

BMW X5

In addition to the high-performance XM SUV, BMW will also launch an updated version of the X5 called the LCI facelift on November 11th. The BMW X5 LCI undergoes some tweaks to both the exterior and interior.

The front end stands out with BMW’s signature kidney grille, and the front bumper has been redesigned to have a more square and rugged look. The headlights have also been slimmed down and incorporate LED daytime running lights that create arrow-shaped lighting signatures.

The rear of the car features updated LED taillights, while the rest of the design remains unchanged from the previous version.

Inside the cabin, the facelifted BMW X5 2023 receives a comprehensive upgrade with a curved digital instrument cluster. The 12.3-inch instrument cluster and the 14.9-inch center display are integrated with the latest iDrive operating system. The gear lever has been replaced with a compact selector lever to streamline the center console area.

BMW also equips the facelifted X5 with touch-sensitive controls and voice commands to eliminate mechanical buttons.

The new BMW X5 is powered by a 3.0L inline-6 petrol engine combined with an electric motor, delivering a total output of about 380 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque.

BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury SUV that will compete with rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 when it arrives in Vietnam.
