The Acura MDX: Standing Tall Above the Competition in Jacksonville

Owning a car these days is a necessity and owning an Acura luxury car is an ideal dream. Comfort should never be optional when it comes to buying a car.

The Acura MDX and the BMW X5 are popular midsize SUVs that have been providing service to many families across the country. They both boast an inviting profile that is appealing to the eye, and they are among the most revered luxury cars in the market. It is a wise move to know the factors that distinguish one from the other in terms of performance, modern styles, and innovative technology.

• Performance The Acura MDX stands out more than the BMW X5. The Acura comes with a plush interior and, as standard, a wide assortment of convenience features. The Acura MDX earns higher safety ratings than the BMW, and it comes with a more superior frontal crash prevention system than the BMW.

  The Acura MDX comes equipped with a tight-handling all-wheel-drive system that directs power between the rear wheels. The midsize Acura MDX SUV is powered by a gasoline 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates a remarkable 190 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.

  It also comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission that provides an incredibly swift shifting and a fluid acceleration. The 4.33 axle ratio on the MDX gives it more towing ability than the BMW, which comes with a 3.39 axle ratio.

• Technology The MDX comes with a built-in display that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These features assist the car owner in integrating smartphone devices, thus allowing the driver to maintain full focus on the road.
