…Action: X5 & MDX Performance
Premium SUVs are engineered to be unstoppable. The BMW X5 and Acura MDX accomplish this with all-weather all-wheel drive, for available traction in even the wettest storms.
The MDX Type S takes performance to a new level for the model with its 355-horsepower turbo V6 engine. As impressive as that is, the BMW X5 has more power waiting in the wings. Even the core model has 335 horsepower on tap, but you’ll quickly thrill at these options:
- 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder w/electric motor—389 HP
- 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M50i)—523 HP
- 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M)—600–617 HP
BMW X5 & Acura MDX: Features
From style to technology, so many more features are available in the 2021 X5 and 2022 MDX. If you want world-class infotainment, check out the standard smartphone integration—and wide display screens that make it easier than ever to access your media.
The vivid graphics and intuitive menus of the BMW iDrive system are enhanced with available Gesture Control. This innovation lets you keep your eyes on the road ahead as you command the system. Use natural, easy-to-learn hand gestures without even looking!
The MDX lacks a similar system. It also does not have available Glass Controls for its multimedia controller and other center console controls. These handmade, diamond-cut trim pieces are yet another calling card of the X5.
