BMW has shared a single image of the Label Red version of the BMW XM ahead of its launch next year. The Label Red will act as the flagship variant of the super SUV offering a boosted version of the plug-in hybrid powertrain that will make it the most powerful non-electric crossover in the market.

Fitting of the name is the host of red accents not available on the standard variant of the XM. They include red around the massive front kidney grilles and red side window surrounds, elements that are ordinarily finished in gold but can be optioned in high-gloss black through BMW’s Shadow Line package.

BMW has also equipped the XM Label Red with distinctive wheels combining gloss black spokes with bright red accents. Look closely and you will notice that the XM badge on the grille is now finished in red. We don’t have a picture of the interior, but the German carmaker says that the red and black color scheme continues inside “drawing attention to specific details”.

No, it’s not a ’66 Batmobile themed edition but the flagship BMW XM Label Red

While the carmaker hasn’t yet unveiled the XM Label Red in full, it has confirmed that it will have a healthy amount of additional power over the standard model that delivers 644 hp at 5,400 rpm and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque between 1,600 – 5,000 rpm. In particular, changes made to the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and the electric motor found in the eight-speed automatic transmission will see the XM Label Red churn out 738 hp (748 PS / 550kW) and 735 lb-ft (997 Nm) of peak torque.

It is not yet clear how much quicker the XM Label Red will be off the line thanks to the extra grunt, but we know the standard model hits 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.1 seconds, meaning a time under the 4-second mark is very likely.

The XM Label Red will carry a hefty premium over the regular model. In fact, whereas the XM currently available starts at $159,000 plus a $995 destination and handling fee, U.S. pricing for the Label Red will kick off from $185,000.
