Xdrive AWD TEST : Bmw X1 xDrive28i 2016 Diagonal test

Xdrive AWD TEST: BMW X1 2016 Diagonal test

We tested the Xdrive AWD of a 2016 BMW xDrive28i! WOW! We were impressed! A lot of purists were not sure about that new AWD system since the X1 is based on the Mini! We can confirm you that, ON or OFFroad, the Xdrive system is awesome!

i am impressed how smooth the electronic system manages the power between the wheels and axles here, much smoother than mechanical systems where you always need some slip and quite some gas applied to get the diffs working.

one of the best if not the best videos of car performance trying to get out of a ditch. BMW x-drive seems to be doing good in this diagonal test but I once rented a 530 xdrive in Europe and faced a problem in power transfer between front and rear axle. this test demonstrates shifting power between wheels on same drive axle. the situation I was in had my front tires in snow and rear tires on dry tarmac and not enough power was delivered to the rear tires. that wasn't an actual road condition but I was testing how it performs. try a test on rollers where one axle can't get any traction and let us see how much of the total power gets transferred to where the traction is.

Thats great compared to other brand cars diagnol tests. No drama, just did it. Keep it up bmw !!

Not sure which system is better but this X1 has the Mini ALL4 AWD system so it seems that even this system beats most AWD systems out there. Impressive.
Wonder how would the real X-Drive do? Probably better i'd guess.

You should do XDrive vs 4Matic vs Quattro diagonal test .. That would be interesting and it's useful for so many people

Put a set of off road tyres on an X1 X Drive and you will be amazed where it can go

[bernardhossmoto]

I agree with the others. We need a Quattro test. And the almighty Subaru Sym. AWD!

That BMW direct injection gas 4 cylinder sounds like a diesel from 15 years ago!

[MemberHomei]

28i? Sounds just like a diesel. Or are BMW doing sth like Mazda where they are "merging" the evolution of diesel and gasoline engines??

[Arora]

I am interested to see how a Mini Countryman would preform

[rhondawilson]

it did pretty awsome to be a small four cylinder engine

[Trades]

Nicely done, but the thought of a BMW being FWD-based is somewhat disgusting.

[HenryBruer]

A. Who in there right mind would take there BMW SUV offroading B. This car does it so well

[serbou]

Système awd beaucoup plus reactif, rapide que Subaru.
