The X has an instinctive feel for the road. Tarmac, gravel, dirt –
the X handles them all with ease, thanks in part to a double
joint spring strut front axle that delivers unsurpassed agility
and superior wheel control. BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) combined with xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive results in
optimum traction. DSC includes many performance-enhancing
features, such as Hill Descent Control, which holds the X to
a slow set speed without having to touch the brakes down
steep hills. During hard braking, Brake Fade Compensation
keeps brake pedal action consistent, even when brakes heat up
from repeated or heavy use, such as on long downhill grades;
during wet conditions, Brake Drying brings brake pads into
contact with rotors to dry them. An array of optional features
take the X to new heights of control, handling and stability.
Active Steering, for example, makes parking, cornering and
highway-speed steering easier by changing the amount of
steering input needed, based on vehicle speed. Whatever
terrain, surface or traffi c you encounter, the X’s confi dence
in hugging the road is matched by your confi dence behind
the wheel.
