xDrive is available in a range of models, some that are suitable for families or larger groups, and others for individuals looking for more of a thrill on the road. There are a number of advantages to an all-wheel xDrive model, with enhanced traction, better performance in winter conditions, and faster acceleration being key incentives for many drivers.

There are also multiple hybrid and electric models, as well as models from the BMW M range that are offered with xDrive. So, whether it is zero emissions, or performance and power that are of the utmost importance to you as a driver, there is sure to be an xDrive model that is suitable.

The all-new BMW 1 Series has had a complete revamp of the exterior and interior, but it still remains refined and classy, as is standard with BMW cars.
