BMW X1 F48 xDrive25e M Sport Steptronic - Terrain

Can the BMW X1 F48 xDrive25e M Sport Steptronic also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The BMW X1 has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 183 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.



Rating: The BMW X1 has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
