Off-road capabilities
Hi All,
I`m struggling to find information/videos/tests on the X1`s off-road capabilities (especially on xdrive, but would be interested to have feedback with sdrive too)... Any feedback/links/etc... From the very few reviews mentioning them, it`s quite negative (compared to a LR Evoque for example, which seems to have some capabilities in 2WD as well). Thanks for your feedback! |

The X1 utilizes a part-time, on-demand AWD system, similar to the Audi Q3 and M-B GLA. This system is not intended for any significant off-road use, and has no differential locks or low-range gearbox. However, subject to clearance issues and the capability of the tyres fitted, I think you'll find it performs quite well. Depending on the market, there is a hill descent system either standard or available as an option. You should also read up on how to set up the DTC (dynamic traction control) to maximize traction in slippery conditions.

As ttimbo says, The X1 utilizes a on-demand AWD system, Whilst this system is not intended for serious off-road use (no low range or high clearance) it performs quite well in the wet on dirt or gravel tracks and on the beach. It will go most places where 'caution' is used as the preface.
