The 2023 BMW X5 offers three powerful and capable engines in its powertrain lineup, starting with a standard 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine. This engine boasts an impressive 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.
For more power, you can opt for the BMW X5’s high-performance M trim with a 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine under the hood. With this power-hungry engine, you’ll get to experience up to an astonishing 617 horsepower. Then there is the plug-in hybrid powertrain option that the X5 offers, which gives you even more eco-friendly performance.
The 2023 Acura MDX, on the other hand, offers just two engines in its powertrain lineup. No matter which one you go with, you won’t have nearly as much power as the X5. This model maxes out at 355 horsepower. The MDX also doesn’t offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Inside the BMW X5, all the seats can be upholstered with comfortable leather seating surfaces, with the front two seats boasting extra comfort. You can slide into standard perforated SensaTec seats and see how it feels!
In the base trim of the X5, relax in the power front sport seats. These include 2-way power side bolsters, 2-way manual headrests and thigh support, and a memory system for the driver’s seat and exterior mirror positions. These are included to help you find your ideal seating position. Your co-pilot will also be equally comfortable
The 2023 X5 even offers the available 4-zone automatic climate control system, which gives you as well as your passengers in each row the ability to set and adjust the temperature without disturbing the preferences of other passengers. The MDX only has a standard 3-zone climate control system for less personalization for rear passengers.
Each of these premium SUVs is also equipped with a variety of driver-assistive technologies. That includes a system in each vehicle that can scan and alert you of cars in your blind spot as well as a system that can detect when you start to get too close to the car in front of you.
With these systems, you can stay alert of your surroundings and be able to limit the chances of a collision from happening. Plus, both the X5 and MDX can help when attempting to park. With available Parking Sensors, the 2023 Acura MDX can warn you when you start to get too close to another object when you are backing up or pulling into a spot.
The BMW X5 takes things a step further with the optional Parking Assistance Package. Among other features, this package includes Parking Assistant Plus, which can automatically control the steering as you attempt to parallel park.
