Performance: Power Is Confidence

To really own your drive, you need a ride with plenty of power on tap. The base 2021 X5 and RDX do not disappoint: The BMW runs on a 335-horsepower TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder, while the Acura runs on a 272-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder engine. Get moving with gusto with either of these powerplants!

There's no doubt, though, that the BMW X5 is better tuned for performance. In addition to the available M Sport Differential and Suspension, the X5 offers more engines than the RDX's lone powertrain:

• BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder w/ electric motor (X5 xDrive45e)-389 horsepower
• BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M50i)-523 horsepower
• BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M)-600 horsepower

X5 vs RDX: Plug-In Hybrid Electric Power

Are you ready to plug in to more efficient adventures? The BMW X5 and Acura RDX are engineered with aerodynamics in mind, but only the BMW is available as a plug-in hybrid.

The X5 xDrive45e certainly doesn't sacrifice power, as we've seen above. With an amazing 30 miles of all-electric range-the longest available on any BMW plug-in hybrid-it also offers you the freedom to go farther. Drive emissions-free on all your short trips and commutes!

When it runs on all-electric power, expect an EPA-estimated 50 combined city/highway MPGe from the BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid. It far outshines the 24 combined MPG expected from the Acura RDX.

Slide Inside the BMW X5 & Acura RDX

You deserve a luxury SUV that can make you feel something when you slide behind the wheel. The 2021 X5 and RDX accomplish this with their incredibly lavish interiors.

Enjoy panoramic views with an available moonroof that stretches over front and rear seats. Settle down into the most luxurious available leather-appointed seats. The BMW X5 even offers available wood and metal finishes for a more premium appearance.

Keep in mind that while both vehicles come standard with five seats, only the BMW X5 offers the option for an available third row. This 5+2 seating arrangement lets you bring more people along for the ride-and still have space for cargo in the rear.
