Here's Why You Want a BMW X5 near Jacksonville, FL

It's no secret that luxury SUVs aren't all the same. But how do you know which luxury SUV works best for your needs? The easiest way to know for sure is to take a test-drive of every vehicle in which you're interested. But still, before getting behind the wheel, you probably have questions you want answered. Say you're considering the BMW X5 and the Acura MDX near Saint Augustine. You might be wondering things like "how much space does the X5 have vs. the MDX?" or maybe "what features come standard?". Luckily, we want to help make your luxury vehicle selection process a bit easier here at Tom Bush BMW Orange Park. That's why we've compiled the following comparison.

Performance & Capability

The Acura MDX, though also appointed with a standard V6 engine, offers a comparatively meager 290-horsepower. What's more, the BMW X5 can tow around 7,200 pounds versus 5,000 pounds for the Acura MDX.

Style & Space

Style is subjective. Still, both the BMW X5 and Acura MDX offer sleek exterior styling that speak to their premium nature and performance capability. Where the X5 and MDX differ slightly is their seating and cargo configuration. The MDX places higher priority on people-hauling, providing space for up to seven passengers and offering about fifteen cubic feet of cargo space.
