Need a new way to move forward? The 2021 BMW X5 and 2020 Acura MDX introduce enhancements in efficiency, connectivity, and comfort that let you do it in more ways than one. Which luxury SUV, though, will serve you best as you seek everyday adventures?
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we explore these models and compare them across several categories. You will walk away with a better understanding of both automobiles, and you can contact us at Critz BMW to learn more!
BMW X5 vs Acura MDX: Adventure Electrified
As you dare to explore Savannah, Pooler, and Richmond Hill, Georgia, you want a luxury vehicle that's light on fuel. The 2021 X5 and 2020 MDX fulfill that promise with their available hybrid powertrains.
In the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, a vigorous V6 engine works with an electric motor to deliver an EPA-estimated 27 combined MPG. While these are solid figures for a hybrid SUV, the BMW X5 Plug-in Hybrid delivers a noticeable day-to-day difference. There's no plug-in version of the MDX, unfortunately.
With the BMW X5 xDrive45e, expect 30 miles of all-electric range-the longest available on any BMW plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV). You can also expect an outstanding 50 combined MPGe.
Inspired Performances from BMW and Acura
While the BMW X5 can run more efficiently than the Acura MDX, there are more sides to performance. How do the two models compare when it comes to pure thrills behind the wheel?
The Acura MDX's base engine is its most powerful. The V6 puts 290 horsepower at your command for some speedy acceleration times. However, BMW is known for performance, and the X5 lives up to your wildest expectations. Its base engine-a TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder-offers 335 horsepower.
The more potent BMW X5 M50i is driven by a desire for sporty adventures. Merge into the fast lane with a TwinPower Turbo V8 with 523 horsepower on tap-more than the Acura MDX can ever dream of!
X5 vs MDX: Interior of a Premium Luxury SUV
Only the plushest, most comfortable luxury vehicles deserve your attention, and we want to know how the 2021 X5 and MDX fare. Luckily for you, luxury can be found in even the smallest details.
Both, for instance, offer available leather-trimmed seats and wood finishes that lend an air of luxury to every surface. The BMW X5 scores a key win over its competitor with available Glass Controls. Imagine the unparalleled style of handmade, diamond-cut glass trim elements that adorn the:
- Transmission selector level (with illuminated X)
- iDrive Controller
- Start/Stop button
Meanwhile, standard tri-zone automatic climate control is a welcome feature on the Acura MDX. Still, only the BMW X5 offers available 4-zone automatic climate control, adding an extra zone for rear passenger comfort in any driving condition.
Which Is Better: BMW X5 or Acura MDX?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and these are two lovely luxury SUVs. The 2021 BMW X5 and 2020 Acura MDX make elegant impressions on every Savannah, Pooler, and Richmond Hill, GA, road.
Having said all that, the X5 Sports Activity Vehicle® can be more efficient and powerful-and both at the same time. The stunning cabin gives it an edge in terms of design, too.
