The electric wagon BMW M340d Touring xDrive passed the deer test and the slalom test. The car was far from the best in these tests.
Experts tested the handling of the charged BMW M340d Touring xDrive diesel station wagon in two grueling tests. The video was published on the km77.com YouTube channel.
The compact station wagon BMW M340d Touring is a paid version of the standard model. The car is equipped with a proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive system that provides greater traction.
The BMW M340d Touring xDrive is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine with 335 horsepower. and 700 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 4.6 seconds.
The test car was fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires in the size 225/40 R19 at the front and 255/35 R19 at the rear. They are perfect for hot and dry weather.
First, the BMW M340d Touring xDrive passed the slalom test. The wagon obstacle course passed in 23.7 seconds, which is a good result. However, the model is inferior to many electric cars and sports cars.
Next, the electric car was tested in a deer test, in which the appearance of an unforeseen obstacle on the road was simulated. The task of the test vehicle is to avoid a collision. To pass the test successfully, you need to maneuver at 77 km/h.
The test driver tried to cross the obstacle course at 75 km/h, but the BMW M340d Touring xDrive was too heavy. The only successful attempt was made at a speed of 71 km / h.
Previously Focus Kia Sportage said the hybrid crossover failed handling tests.
