Are you in the market for a luxury SUV to be your partner for every adventure you embark on? If you’re thinking yes, then you have to come into BMW of Schererville to get a glance of the one and only 2018 BMW X5 with your own eyes. We’ve also done the research to show you how it stacks up against the 2018 Acura RDX and why it ultimately blows it out of the water! If you happen have any further inquiries after checking out this overview, feel free to reach us at 800-860-3545.
A great place to start this comparison is with what hides beneath the hood of these two SUV’s. The X5 comes equipped with a standard 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine, which churns out an amazing 302 horsepower and 302 lb.-ft. of torque, all while proving you’ll be making it to and from work in no time at all each day. The Acura RDX, however, comes standard with a 3.5-liter port injection V6 powertrain that only produces 279 horsepower and 252 lb.-ft. of torque, so you might be making it home each night to dinner later than you expected. Another reason why the X5 outshines the RDX is because it has a 22.4 gallon fuel tank capacity that won’t have you tethered to a gas station. In the RDX you’ll only find a fuel tank capacity of 16 gallons, which means you’ll be making those interrupted stops at the gas station more frequently than in the X5.
Now let’s chat a little bit about what you’ll find within the interior of these SUVs. For starters, in the 2018 X5 you’ll find front seats that will give you the comfort you’ve been looking for you and your copilot to kick back in. These seats can be power-adjusted 14 different ways to make each ride enjoyable. How’s that for the ultimate driving experience?! Plus, they also come with a memory system that remembers your position so you’re not wasting precious time figuring out what makes you most comfortable before you drive down to Carraba’s Italian Grill for some mouthwatering pasta. Unfortunately, the RDX only allows you to move the seats around 10 different ways, so you may not be driving with the greatest comfort each time you’re behind the wheel. No one likes to be bumping shoulders with your front passenger or feeling cramped and the engineers at BMW kept that in mind when they built the X5 because they included 60.5 inches of shoulder room in the front to make each drive relaxing. You’re not so lucky in the RDX because you only get 58.7 inches of shoulder room, so you might be bumping into your copilot and causing some tension between the two of you. If it wasn’t obvious yet, the X5 will make every journey thrilling, calming, and more comfortable than the last!
Both the X5 and RDX both come with some advanced technology features for entertainment and to keep you connected to those who are number one in your life, but the X5 trumps the RDX in some of its advancements. In the X5 you’ll find available wireless charging1 in the center console so you can always juice up your phone when you see that it’s getting low on battery. This feature is not even an option in the RDX so there may be times that you’ll have to deal with a dying phone until you get to a place that allows you to plug in your charger. You’ll be able to listen to music and jam out in both SUVs, but only one comes with a HiFi 9-speaker surround sound to make each drive feel like a front-row concert. Can you guess which one? That’s right, the X5. In the RDX you’ll be getting 7 speakers and some words may get muffled and go unheard, especially when dealing with all the traffic noise around you. The X5 is evidently the total package!
The obvious winner in this 2018 BMW X5 vs 2018 Acura RDX comparison in Schererville, IN, is the X5. Come on down to BMW of Schererville to take it for a test drive and see how it performs out on the roads. We look forward to seeing you!
