BMW xDrive AWD System

Get to Know the Intelligent BMW xDrive All-Wheel-Drive System on an Equipped New or Pre-Owned BMW in Devon

Smart, intuitive, preemptive, predictive, clairvoyant -- whatever terminology you choose, the BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive (AWD) system comes across as magical. BMW xDrive is a permanent AWD system that works to react to a loss of traction before it happens. These proactive measures make BMW xDrive superior to the conventional AWD system of most other brands, which reacts to traction loss rather than preventing it altogether.

It all starts with variable torque split, which allows you to drive with the confidence that comes from the peace of mind in knowing that your vehicle will maintain perfect traction in all sorts of situations. Like a safety net, the xDrive system is always ready, but it only actively engages when needed. Thanks to a multi-disc clutch, it only takes mere seconds to distribute torque between the wheels as dictated by the driving situation. This allows for smooth, continuous adjustments, rerouting all power to one axle in extreme situations.

You may assume that investing in a vehicle with AWD means sacrificing engaging driving dynamics. However, xDrive is uniquely optimized to offer agility and acceleration in hairpin bends. It gives the sensation of thrilling rear-wheel drive by holding close to road on slippery surfaces. BMW xDrive isn't just about safety -- it's about driver enjoyment, too.
