2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 BMW X5
Our staff at Acura of Oakville already know the 2020 BMW X5 can't compete with the 2020 Acura MDX luxury and performance. But, we want to help automotive consumers in Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, and Burlington understand what traits make the MDX superior to the X5.
Comfort
On the BMW X5, 3rd-row seating is an add on and only available with the V8 engine, increasing the price by thousands. Whereas, the Acura MDX with Advance Package has three rows of leather seats, including 2nd-row captain's chairs. Rear seats have separate A/C and heat controls. The 2020 MDX is copiously designed for a third row, and it shows.
Acura firmly believes comfort should never be optional. The six-passenger MDX comes standard with a wealth of luxurious interior amenities that you won't find on the BMW X5. Front row seats are ventilated and heated, and with three rows of Milano leather seats throughout the luxury SUV, everyone rides in comfort. All MDX passengers can charge electronic devices in every row of the MDX, with seven USB ports to the X5's three. With 90.9 cubic feet of cargo room, 18.6 more cubic feet than the BMW SUV, the Acura MDX has plenty of room to stash everyone's stuff.
Convenience
You are always protected when you drive the 2020 Acura MDX, which is equipped with standard AcuraWatch. Collision Mitigation Braking System reduces your chances of a fender bender by sending you alerts upon sensing an imminent collision with stalled cars or pedestrians. This system can utilize up to 80% of your braking power, helping you stop in time. Lane Keeping Assist System enables you to stay in your lane by providing slight tugs on your steering wheel for re-centring. For single-lane streets and shoulder lanes, Road Departure Mitigation can help you avoid drifting offroad unintentionally. Automatic active braking and steering will kick in to help you remain safe during your drives.
When you hit the QEW highway, turn on Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow for your Acura to cruise at a set speed while slowing down for traffic ahead. These features and more will ensure your rides are safe and comfortable. Take a trip in the BMW X5, and features like Active Driver Assistant brings frontal collision warning, lane departure warning, and more.
Cost

The 2020 BMW X5 xDrive 40i AWD starts at $61,200, whereas the 2020 Acura MDX SH-AWD with Advantage Package starts at $58,250. And again, the FWD MDX comes in at a lower MSRP of only $56,250 when compared to the X5 FWD, which starts at $58,900.
