BMW sDrive vs. xDrive: What's the Difference?
Take a peek at our new inventory at BMW of Peoria and you’ll notice plenty of models with signature BMW performance. But before you take a new car home to Pekin, you might stop and wonder, “What’s the difference between BMW sDrive vs xDrive?” To put it simply,
- BMW sDrive is a two-wheel drive option on vehicles like the BMW 7 Series.
- BMW xDrive is a BMW AWD system, available on SUVs like the BMW X4 and select sedans.
Both have their own benefits, so which is right for you?
BMW sDrive
BMW sDrive is a two-wheel drive system that directs engine power to a single set of wheels. Models like the BMW X2 Series feature front-wheel drive, while sporty models like the 7 Series use rear-wheel drive.
Though not a BMW AWD system, BMW sDrive provides responsive handling and fantastic efficiency for your Galesburg travels.
BMW xDrive
If you struggle with rough road conditions and harsh weather, a true BMW AWD system may be what you need. BMW xDrive is unique in its approach, offering intelligent AWD technology that monitors the conditions of the road at all times with Dynamic Stability Control.
If your wheels slip, power is redistributed immediately to boost performance and help you regain control.
