2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 BMW X5 near Milwaukee, WI

2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 BMW X5 near Milwaukee, WIPictured above is the 2020 Acura MDX with Advance Package in Lunar Silver Metallic. 

Equipped to impress and eager to please, the 2020 Acura MDX is a luxury SUV with something for everyone. Although we at Acura of Brookfield are already aware of all that this model has to offer, we’d like to take some time to bring you up to speed on its wealth of amenities, so you know just how much you stand to gain. In fact, to demonstrate just how outstanding the MDX is, we’ll be stacking it up against the 2020 BMW X5.

Comfort & Space

From the moment you step inside the 2020 MDX, you’ll feel right at home within its cozy confines. You’ll immediately be able to stretch out to your heart’s content in 41.4 inches of front legroom, which is far superior to the BMW X5’s rather cramped 39.8 inches for this dimension. Furthermore, whereas the Acura is prepared to accommodate the needs of the driver, copilot, and rear passengers with standard tri-zone climate control, the BMW only manages to offer a dual-zone system. Moreover, you can’t upgrade to anything like the MDX’s available GPS-linked1 climate control system in the X5! This intelligent feature tracks the sun’s position within the cabin and automatically adjusts the temperature in certain areas for a truly futuristic journey down I-43.

Tech Features

Sticking with the interior for now, the 2020 Acura MDX continues to build on its lead over the 2020 BMW X5. Although both models come with standard Apple CarPlay®2, only the MDX also provides you with Android Auto™integration to meet the needs of drivers with a Google-powered device. With no such accommodations offered in the BMW, you’ll simply be out of luck. The story doesn’t improve much in the back of the X5, given that it lacks anything resembling the MDX’s available Acura Rear Entertainment System, which could make for some tedious travels—especially if you have young children. Finally, even when we turn our attention to safety technology, the MDX still comes out ahead, thanks standard advancements such as the Road Departure Mitigation System that you simply can’t access in its competitor.

Performance

Finally, let’s pop their hoods and examine what lies at the heart of these models. If you’re hoping to assume command of a luxury SUV that supplies seamless power delivery, the Acura MDX is the one for you. Thanks to its standard 9-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters, you’ll be able to quickly accelerate onto highway, weave in and out of traffic like a pro, and enjoy a fuel economy rating of 27 MPG hwy4 with FWD. Meanwhile, should you choose to get behind the wheel of the BMW X5, you’ll only reach up to 26 MPG hwy5, due in part to its somewhat less responsive 8-speed automatic transmission.

We hope that this model comparison of the 2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 BMW X5 near Milwaukee, WI, has convinced you to visit us to test drive this outstanding set of wheels at Acura of Brookfield. If you have any questions prior to dropping by, feel free to give us a call during our convenient business hours!

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
