ELECTRICAL xDRIVE.

All-wheel drive for full traction - only available in the BMW 225xe, the electrical xDrive of the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) distributes the propulsive force of the motors to both axles so as to optimise traction. This counteracts oversteering as well as understeering and ensures an optimum drive configuration.

ACCELERATION WITH eBOOST.

For maximum drive output, the electric motor supports the combustion engine as eBoost. When the acceleration demand is high, energy from the high-voltage battery is used to generate additional thrust and offer an especially dynamic acceleration experience.

OPTIMAL HANDLING.

In certain driving situations, such as when entering a bend, the BMW 225xe Active Tourer varies the ratio of drive torque on front and rear wheels in favour of a rear-biased setting. This increases the precision during steering and permits an even more dynamic driving experience.

BEST TRACTION.

Due to the electric motor on the rear axle and petrol engine on the front axle, the dynamic benefits of both drives and an all-wheel drive vehicle can be ideally united by the electrical xDrive. This increases traction and safety on wet or icy roads.
