X5 vs MDX Performance

If you're taking a look under the hood of the 2020 BMW X5, you'll find a 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine. This V6 powertrain combines twin-scroll turbocharger technology with variable valve control and direct injection that aids in maximizing vehicle performance. Even if you're feeling a bit sluggish walking out the door with your morning coffee, the X5 is always there to help wake you with up to 335 horsepower.

The Acura MDX has a lone 3.5L V6 engine that only offers 290 horsepower. It lags behind the X5 a bit in terms of power, though it does offer Intelligent Variable Timing and Lift Control to increase its output. That being said, it still comes up short when compared to the X5.

If you're seeking extra grip, the X5 and the MDX do come with all-wheel drive capability.

BMW X5 vs Acura MDX Cabin Amenities

You'll feel like you have a home away from home in the 2020 BMW X5. It welcomes you with 16-way power front sport seats that include 2-way power side bolsters and 4-way lumbar support. With 16 different options for setting up the front seats, you'll be able to discover the right level of comfort.

Meanwhile, the lumbar support provides relief for your back and spine. When you're on the road for hours, you'll find lumbar support comes in handy. The Acura MDX also offers this feature, but the standard seats only come with 12 customization settings.

While we may spend a good part of the year in the hot Texas sun, it certainly helps to have heated front seats during the winter months. The X5 and the MDX both come standard with heated front seats.

A Haven for Audiophiles

Do you love your music and podcasts? Take your sound seriously? Perhaps you have a sound system at home and want to be able to replicate it in your car.

With the HiFi Sound System with 10 speakers and 205-watt digital amplifier in the BMW X5, you'll be able to have that powerful sound system. The Acura Premium Audio System only offers eight speakers, so while it does provide crystal-clear sound, it can't quite match up to the X5 in terms of audio power.

Don't forget: You can always plug your smartphone in using the USB port, gaining access to your favorite tunes right from your favorite app. Crank up the volume and enjoy the road ahead!
