BMW X1 2015: 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: | 200 mm (7.9 inches) | 183 mm (7.2 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. | |||
