The XM Label’s highlight however is the powertrain. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain is dialled up over the standard model to push out 737 bhp and 1000 Nm of peak torque enabling the XM Label to hit 100 kmph in a claimed 3.8 seconds. Top speed for the XM Label stands at 290 kmph with the M Driver’s Package - which removes the electronically limited top speed from 250 kmph - offered as standard.
