xDrive
Concept
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of the ve‐
hicle. The interaction of xDrive and DSC Dy‐
namic Stability Control further optimizes trac‐
tion and driving dynamics. xDrive variably
distributes the driving forces to the front and
rear axles as demanded by the driving situation
and road surface.
Integral Active Steering
Concept
Integral Active Steering is a combination of Ac‐
tive Steering and rear axle steering.
The variable steering ratio amplifies the steer‐
ing angle when maneuvering, thus making the
steering more direct. The rear axle steering
acts to increase maneuverability at low speeds
by turning the rear wheels slightly in the oppo‐
site direction to the front wheels.
At higher speeds, the rear wheels are turned in
the same direction as the front wheels. This re‐
sults in, for instance better directional stability
and a more harmonious change of direction.
In critical driving situations, the Integral Active
Steering can stabilize the vehicle through pur‐
poseful steering of the rear wheels before the
driver intervenes, for instance in case of over‐
steering.
