BMW X Models 2026

Our most recent review of the 2026 BMW X Models resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: This is a highly competent all-rounder, given that it has the comfort and practicality for urban family duties yet with its revered M breeding can produce a level of performance which, in competent hands, could hold its own at a track day where its capabilities could be safely explored.

BMW X Models 2026 FAQs

How long does a BMW 330e PHEV's battery pack last?

The 330e is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so it has a petrol engine and a smaller battery pack than a full EV (which runs exclusively on battery power). That means the BMW’s battery should be less expensive to replace if it ever needed to be.

At the moment, the world is waiting to find out how long EV batteries last, but it’s looking like between 10 and 20 years is going to be the magic number. A lithium-ion battery like this one will last longer if it’s never over-charged and is cycled regularly rather than left sitting for long periods.

Why is BMW XM so expensive?

The BMW XM is BMW's flagship SUV, and a standalone M model. It also carries a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain.

What is the difference between the BMW M3 and M4?

The M3 is based on the four-door three series sedan/wagon, while the M4 is based on the two-door 4 series coupe/convertible. There is a four-door M4 Grand Coupe.
