BMW xDrive refers to the all-wheel drive system. The following is knowledge about the all-wheel drive system. Working principle: The sedan AWD system is actually a four-wheel drive with a driving force distribution control method. It uses computers and various continuously improved sensors to constantly judge the dynamic adhesion of the tires to the ground and the driver's driving intention, actively controls the differential state of the car's differential, balances the driving force of each wheel, and optimizes the various performance of the car. Performance characteristics: As the speed of modern sedans becomes higher and higher, especially when driving on highways, wind resistance increases. To maximize the transmission of driving force, the use of an AWD system can fully utilize the vehicle's weight to improve driving force. It enhances the car's dynamic performance on various road surfaces. Traditional front-wheel-drive sedans may experience understeer during acceleration and cornering, while traditional rear-wheel-drive sedans may show a tendency to oversteer during acceleration and cornering. However, sedans equipped with an AWD system can distribute the driving force between the front and rear wheels according to the car's driving state, significantly improving the car's steering performance.

BMW xDrive is simply their intelligent all-wheel-drive system. I've driven BMWs with this feature a few times, and it feels incredibly stable, especially on slippery roads like during rain or snow. It automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels to prevent wheel slip. Unlike traditional all-wheel-drive systems that are always on and waste fuel, this system adjusts in real-time based on road conditions, flexibly distributing power between the front and rear axles from 0 to 100%, giving you more confidence behind the wheel. For example, when cornering or accelerating, the body doesn't lean too much, and braking is more stable. BMW designed this to enhance handling and safety, similar to Audi's Quattro but with faster response. The difference isn't very noticeable in city driving, but it's really useful in mountainous areas or on long trips.
