New Ways to Connect in the X3 & RDX

BMW X3You want to feel more connected to your drive, your tunes, and your people. Well, the 2021 X3 Sports Activity Vehicle® and RDX have the technology to totally transform your drive.

Both crossovers cull from the most modern infotainment features available. Access your apps via Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ on a standard 10-plus-inch display screen that dominates the dash! Alas, you can only control it via touchpad in the RDX, but the X3 offers:

  • Touchscreen
  • iDrive Controller
  • Gesture Control

With available Gesture Control, just point your finger when that call from your friend comes in. Twirl it to raise the volume and hear him better. It’s only in the BMW—Acura lacks this feature.

Configure That Cargo Space—Again!

Life demands a crossover that can carry whatever you desire. Could it be some beach gear for a trip down to the sandy shores? A guitar for band practice this weekend? You decide.

The BMW X3 boasts up to 62.7 cubic feet of cargo space. It offers more space to work with than the Acura RDX, which offers just 58.9 cubic feet. The X3 is more versatile in other ways, too.

For instance, the BMW X3 has standard 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats for seemingly endless adjustments! If you choose the Acura RDX, you must make do with 60/40 split-folding seats in the rear, which don’t have quite the same adaptability.
