If you're ready to take the wheel of a 3-row luxury SUV in Houston, Sugar Land, and Missouri City, you've come to the right place. Our 2020 BMW X7 vs. Acura MDX vehicle comparison takes a closer look at a pair of popular luxury SUVs available to drivers across the Lone Star State.

The team at Momentum BMW is going in-depth to explore vehicle performance, amenities, and technology, so you're able to make the right decision about your next vehicle.


BMW X7 vs Acura MDX Performance

Performance is an important metric that's usually front of mind for many drivers. That seems particularly true when you have a luxury SUV that you expect power from. With the 2020 BMW X7, you'll have a powerful 3.0L V6 engine that delivers 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. You won't find this kind of power in every SUV, but you'll have it in the latest 3-row X7.

When you compare that to the Acura MDX, you'll soon see these vehicles don't have much in common when it comes to power. The MDX does have a V6 engine, but it only makes 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, lagging behind the X7.

The MDX does offer available all-wheel drive to provide better grip on the roads. However, the X7 has the MDX beat here, too: With its standard all-wheel drive, you don't have to pay extra for peace of mind.

X7 vs MDX Interior

Step into the BMW X7 or the Acura MDX and you'll feel like you have a home away from home. BMW and Acura know how to impress both drivers and passengers. Which SUV does it better, though? One thing's for sure: With seating for up to seven people, you'll have room for the entire family.

Standard heated front seats provide both the driver and front passenger with comfort on those chillier winter mornings. In fact, both the X7 and the MDX are ready to welcome you with open arms-or, in this case, seats.

The X7 offers standard 16-way power front sport seats that include 2-way power side bolsters and 4-way lumbar support. The Acura MDX is comfortable, yes, but it only offers a 12-way power driver's seat, so you won't be able to find the same level of customization as you'll have in the X7.

X7 vs MDX Technology

The 2020 BMW X7 is packed with a long list of convenience features capable of making your drives more streamlined. The Live Cockpit Professional functionality offers a pair of 12.3-inch display screens powered by the iDrive 7.0 system. This system can be controlled by your voice, the touchscreen, or the touchpad Controller. The Acura MDX offers an 8-inch display screen, so it's much smaller than the standard X7 screen offering.

Apple CarPlay® compatibility is standard in both the X7 and the MDX. These SUVs are fun to drive, and that's in part due to the standard smartphone capability that allows you to access texts, music, and messages from friends.
