Who it suits

Performance buyers who want an extreme plug-in hybrid SUV. The XM Label makes 550 kW, does 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.8 seconds, has a 25.7 kWh usable battery, up to 76 to 88 km of electric range and a 527 litre boot.

Who should look elsewhere

Anyone watching the price or running costs. At around R3.65 million it is very expensive, it uses about 33.7 kWh per 100 km on electricity, and the standard 480 kW XM is no longer sold in South Africa.
