The BMW X3 is a compact SUV that was designed to be stylish, sporty and drive well. It has been called one of the best driving SUVs on the market today. But does this car have all-wheel drive? To find out, visit Basney BMW in South Bend. The X3 is a dynamic and athletic crossover. So, it makes sense it comes ready for action, no matter the road conditions.
During everyday driving conditions, you won't need all-wheel drive. It is kind of like your insurance. You only need it when it is time to use it. But you will be glad you have it when the time comes. The all-wheel-drive system of the X3 gives you the confidence to take on any environment you may encounter along the way.
BMW X3 All-Wheel Drive options
When you buy a vehicle, one important feature to consider is whether or not it has an all-wheel-drive option. The BMW X3 Series offers two different all-wheel-drive options: xDrive and Dynamic Performance Control (DPC). Both of them can provide better traction for your car, but they are different.
With xDrive, the vehicle's computer decides when and how to power each wheel to maintain control of what is going on with all four wheels (i.e., it will help you out if one tire starts slipping). When road conditions change, this system sends power to the axles that need the most traction to keep you safe. It can also tell if you are oversteering during adverse conditions and reacts by sending more power to the front axle, giving you precision control of your SUV.
With DPC, there is a specific setting for off-roading and one for on-road, so if you go out to the desert or an area with deep snow, it will automatically shift your car into a setting that can handle those conditions.
