Acura MDX Type S: Next-Generation Performance and Comfort
The BMW X5 and Acura MDX Type S are both impressive performance SUVs. But the powerful MDX Type S is clearly superior. Its quad exhaust outlets boldly signify the powerful 355 HP4 Turbo V-6 engine, which works in concert with a double-wishbone front suspension and dynamic air suspension for more significant muscle and control than the BMW X5.
Torque vectoring, rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) lets you channel that dynamic power for confident handling in almost any condition. And when you're ready to take manual control, standard paddle shifters put all 10 gears at your fingertips.
The Acura MDX Type S Advance also comes with a wealth of premium amenities that you won't find on the BMW X5 xDrive 40i. Heated and ventilated front seats offer massage capabilities with 9 options to choose from. Second-row passengers can also enjoy heated outboard seats. Refined quilted-stitching seats and Iconic Drive™ LED ambient cabin lighting craft an unforgettable and premium experience.
Premium features make MDX Type S stand out.
