The BMW X1 is available in xDrive and sDrive versions. In the sDrive edition the rear-wheel-drive set-up is a BMW standard that assures driving pleasure. By clearly separating drive and steering, it allows an optimal axle load distribution of practically 50:50, providing rousing agility and manoeuvrability on practically any road. In the xDrive version however the intelligent all-wheel drive system adapts perfectly even to difficult driving situations by consistently delivering maximum traction - drive power flexibility is distributed to the axles instantaneously to ensure optimal grip. Moreover though compact, this X model has a rear seat that splits 40:20:40, so golf clubs or indeed skis can be transported while still retaining four seats.
