What is BMW xDrive in Simple Terms?
BMW xDrive is a state-of-the-art technology exclusive to the automaker's lineup. It is a full-time AWD system that improves traction on every drive, especially on slippery roads and uneven terrain. It also improves handling, giving you better, more precise control over your vehicle. And when traversing tight curves in Milton or wherever your travels take you, BMW xDrive enhances driving dynamics and stability for even greater safety and control.
How Does BMW xDrive Work?
Now that you know what BMW xDrive is, you are likely curious about how it works. The system is always engaged but only activates when it is needed. This helps optimize your fuel consumption.
BMW xDrive consistently monitors wheel speed so it can decide when and where more power from the engine is needed. It can dispatch up to 100% of your engine power to one axle for fast traction enhancement. Also, when you take a curve, BMW xDrive decreases power to the wheels on the inside of the curve, which helps stabilize the vehicle so you can get out of the turn quickly and safely.
xDrive Dynamic Stability Control
Dynamic Stability Control is part of the BMW xDrive system. When it detects a loss of traction, it will brake the appropriate wheel in the blink of an eye. Again, this helps you stay safer and in firm control on every Mississauga drive.
xDrive Dynamic Traction Control
Dynamic Traction Control is an important component of Dynamic Stability Control. It automatically adjusts braking and wheel spin to keep forward momentum and, at the same, conserve engine power. This feature is especially beneficial on slick, wintry roads.
