BMW X1 F48 xDrive25e M Sport Steptronic - Terrain

Is the BMW X1 F48 xDrive25e M Sport Steptronic also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road 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.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

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.
