has anyone got a four wheel drive auto x1 how is it to drive or any major problems with anything which is common only because of covid i can’t test drive ?
Me again! Our X1 is 4WD. I had very long test drives in both 2WD and 4WD X1’s. Both are excellent but the 4WD one is a bit quicker (combination of the 4WD and the fact that it has a different auto to the 2WD – it’s a sports auto on the 4WD). For me, the most noticeable improvement with the 4WD was the improved handling and grip. I could sense a big difference when pulling away on gritty surfaces and also when driving ‘keenly’. The minimal mpg deficit against the 2WD is well worth the benefits IMHO. I’m not overly bothered about MPG but it’s also very economical, better than our previous diesel Tiguan in fact. I’m averaging low 40’s and on motorway runs can hit high 40’s if not 50mpg. Incredible for a fast, 2.0i petrol 4WD SUV.
