It's time for an epic !

We've got our hands on the BMW XM, the evident 'peak' of the BMW M variety, and it's lining up against a few of its closest rivals!

So let's see how the 4 vehicles compare. Starting with the XM, it's powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor. Combined they produce 653hp and 800Nm, and this power is sent out to all 4 wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. The thing is, it's definitely gigantic, weighing in at 2,785 kg!! It will likewise damage your wallet, costing around ₤ 150,000!

Alongside it, we have the Urus. It packs a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 and produces 666hp and 850Nm. An 8-speed automatic gearbox sends this power to all 4 wheels, and it weighs in at 2,150 kg. If you're looking to choose one up, it'll cost around ₤ 209,000.

Then we pertain to the SQ8, which is also powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. It has the least power here, can be found in at 507hp and 770Nm, and an 8-speed automobile transmission sends this power to all four wheels. It suggestions the scales at 2,240 kg, and it's the most affordable car here, costing around ₤ 99,000.

Then lastly we have the G-Wagon. It's real estate a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and it produces 585hp and 850Nm. It's the only vehicle here with a 9-speed automated gearbox, and this sends out the power to all four wheels. It weighs in at a huge 2550kg, and from new it costs around ₤ 178,000.

So on paper it appears like the Urus will stroll it, however could the all-new XM spring a surprise? There's only one method to find out … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to everybody who helped to set up this race:

      The engine is co-developed with Porsche engineers and Cayenne engine gets produced by Porsche engineers in Zuffenhausen too, though Lambo engine is produced in Audi plants. SQ8 and Urus share a lot of parts only Urus and Cayenne gets a water cooled transmission, single plate electronic differential lock, and an acoustically improved downpipe, just to give a few example.
