Your Way of Driving: Performance Capabilities

Whether you prefer to drive with race car-like speed or on any terrain, you can’t go wrong with either the BMW X3 or Acura MDX. Both SUVs allow you to customize your performance by choosing optional all-wheel drive or hybrid systems.

Once you choose your drivetrain and fuel option, the BMW X3 lets you further customize your commute with the standard Driving Dynamics Control system. With this system, you can fine-tune your drive by making performance adjustments—something you can’t do with the Acura MDX.

Choose one of three modes—ECO PRO, COMFORT, or SPORT—with the X3 to take performance customization further.

Customize Your Comfort: Interior Settings

Sometimes, your needs change from day to day, especially when it comes to comfort. One day you may like things warmer while the next you crave cold air. Since your comfort needs change frequently, the BMW X3 and Acura MDX come equipped with comfort customization.

Choose your perfect seating position and temperature to travel the town as comfortably as possible.

The MDX allows front-seat passengers to find their perfect position with the 12-way power seat function. X3 passengers will have an easier time with the available 14-way power front seats.

Taking comfort to the extreme, both SUVs come standard with an Automatic 3-zone Climate Control system. This allows you, your front-seat passenger, and rear-seat passengers to independently set and adjust the climate settings without affecting one another.

Thanks to its extra seat customization, the X3 takes the lead here, too.
