2025 Acura MDX vs 2025 BMW X5 in Lawrenceville, NJ
2025 Acura MDX Type S Advance in Urban Gray Pearl (left) and 2025 BMW X5 (right) shown above with available features.
With the 2025 Acura MDX having recently arrived at Precision Acura of Princeton, you may be curious as to how it performs. To give you a good idea of what this midsize SUV is capable of, we’d like to put it up against one of its rivals, the 2025 BMW X5, to show you how it blows the competition out of the water!
Performance
One of the ways in which the Acura MDX proves itself to be a cut above the BMW X5 is through its ability to shift gears. The Acura model comes with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission, allowing for more fluidity as you travel across Route 206. The BMW SUV falls just a bit short due to its standard 8-speed variant. You’ll find that the MDX also comes with more customizability, as it sports a total of five standard drive modes, while the X5 leaves off with just three. While AWD drivetrain is standard on the BMW X5, you have the choice between standard FWD and optional AWD on the Acura MDX, in case you have a preference. These models also share a few features, such as the standard Idle Stop systems, which halt your vehicle's engine whenever your vehicle is paused.
Interior
Stepping into the interior, you’ll find that the 2025 Acura MDX reigns supreme once again. For instance, it comes with Google built-in1 as standard, allowing you access their services from inside your model. This feature is not available to the BMW X5. What it does bring to the table is a standard HiFi sound system, which sports a total of 10 speakers. However, this is outdone once again by the MDX thanks to its optional Bang & Olufsen® 19-speaker system. Regardless of which you choose however, you’ll find yourself comforted by the optional 16-way power-adjustable driver’s seats. The same can be said for their standard panoramic moonroofs, something you’re sure to enjoy while you’re cruising along I-295.
Exterior
In form and function, the outward design of the Acura MDX excels. With it, you can display a shimmering set of optional 21-inch tires on your future journeys. However, the biggest you can go on the BMW X5 is for standard 20-inch variants. A-Spec and Type S sport appearance packages are available to the Acura model as well, allowing you to attain an different looks with an air of athleticism if you so desire. It also brings standard Jewel Eye® LED headlights, which double up as daytime running lamps due to their unique design. These are two items the BMW X5 finds itself without. Something both SUVs bring are heated side-view mirrors, granting you an extra level of utility during muggy days. Now that you’ve learned the ways the 2025 Acura MDX is superior, come see them for yourself when you visit our dealership!
