Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
BMW X1 has 4x4: This generation BMW has Haldex Generation V proactive automatic four-wheel drive system which sends 100% of the torque to the front wheels by default. The system analyzes input from the ABS and engine control units and can increase pressure on the multi-disc clutch for faster engagement when needed. When wheel spin is detected, torque can be split evenly between the axles (50%/50%). | |||
| Ground clearance: | 183 mm (7.2 inches) | 200 mm (7.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Renault Kadjar can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Renault Kadjar version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||

| Engine spread: | Used also on BMW 2 sērija | Installed on at least 16 other car models, including Nissan Qashqai, Renault Scenic, Renault Megane, Dacia Duster | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Renault Kadjar might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The BMW X1 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
