Interior: A Glint of Glass Catches Your Eye

You know a luxury vehicle when you see one. Especially the moment you step inside, you want to feel like you've entered your own personal oasis. Creature comforts and the plushest surroundings are just what you  crave-and the 2021 X5 and RDX offer many!

Add available leather-appointed seats and sink into the cockpit, ready to start the day ahead! The BMW even offers Merino leather, a fine material free from any artificial dyes. You might want it in rich Tartufo or even sporty Black.

Slide inside the BMW X5, and a glimmer of glass may catch your eye. Those are the available Glass Controls, handmade and diamond-cut to perfection! Feel the weight of them each time you wrap your hand around the gear shifter. The Acura RDX lacks this premium touch.

Which Is Bigger: The BMW X5 or Acura RDX?

As a midsize SUV, the BMW X5 is bigger than the Acura RDX compact SUV. You can bring more people along for the ride-and some extra cargo, too! Let's dive into the numbers.

With options for two or three rows, the BMW X5 seats between five and seven people. Choose the 3-row model if you want a couple of child-sized seats in the back. The Acura RDX is only available with two rows, so you lose a little bit of versatility.

When you need space for your adventure gear, the 2021 X5 and RDX accommodate. You'll find 56.5 cubic feet of storage volume behind the second row in the BMW Sports Activity Vehicle®. It's quite a bit more than the 29.5 cubic feet available behind the RDX's second row.
