It's time to break out and see the sights near Johnson City, Elizabethton, and Bristol. Yes, you're ready for adventure, but will you discover it in the 2021 BMW X3 or the Acura RDX? More premium SUVs could hardly be found this side of Kingsport, Tennessee!
Discover all-terrain adventure in the freedom seeker you've always dreamed of. Explore all your options and select your new SUV with the help of our automotive experts at Rick Hill BMW.
Behold: The Beautiful BMW X3 and Acura RDX
You may have seen stunners before, but none quite like the 2021 X3 and RDX. These two luxury SUVs personalize every last touch of plush excellence! What else would you expect from the daily driver of your dreams? Settle into a more luxurious drive with:
- Wood or Aluminum Finishes | Available
- Leather-Appointed Seating | Available
- Heated / Ventilated Front Seats | Available
That said, the BMW X3 has the practicalities down pat. Discover standard 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats and up to 62.7 cubic feet of cargo space in your X3! The Acura RDX falls behind with its 60/40 split-folding rear seats-fewer configurations-and just 58.9 cubic feet of cargo space.
Want All-Star Performance? BMW All the Way
Let's cut to the chase: You want a luxury SUV that's so much more than a pretty face. You want one that can prove its worth on the open road, and here, the choice couldn't be clearer.
No doubt, the Acura RDX offers a robust base engine: a turbo 4-cylinder with 272 horsepower on tap. However, that's the only engine the Acura offers. With the BMW-a brand known for performance-you can select from four engines, all truly powerful.
X3 Engine | Output | Configuration |
BMW TwinPower Turbo I-4 | 248 HP | X3 sDrive30i, X3 xDrive30i |
BMW TwinPower Turbo I-4 w/ electric motor | 288 HP | X3 xDrive30e |
BMW M TwinPower Turbo I-6 | 382 HP | X3 M40i |
BMW M TwinPower Turbo I-6 | 473-503 HP | X3 M |
In another win for the BMW X3, only it offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Save fuel and drive for up to 17 miles on all-electric power for an emissions-free experience!
X3 vs RDX: Take Your Car Technology Wireless
These days, people and their vehicles are more connected than ever-and that goes double for drivers of luxury SUVs. Discover new technology inside the 2021 X3 Sports Activity Vehicle® or the RDX. A wealth of advanced features awaits you:
- Android Auto™ / Apple CarPlay™ | Standard
- Bluetooth® wireless technology | Standard
- Navigation | Standard for X3; Available for RDX
This year, the BMW X3 makes waves with the reveal of wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, now standard across all trim levels. Access all the apps you can't live or drive without from the display screen on the dashboard in front of you! The RDX hasn't yet gone wireless.
Both luxury SUVs, however, are on an even playing field with available wireless charging. Keep your smartphone charged and ready to go without the hassle of cords. How convenient!
Which Is Better, Acura RDX or BMW X3?
You haven't seen Johnson City, Elizabethton, and Bristol until you've seen them from behind the wheel of the 2021 BMW X3. It blows past the competition with more power, more style, and more advanced tech than the Acura RDX.
See it for yourself at our showroom. Our specialists at Rick Hill BMW will help you explore every feature in the X3 and snag your seat at the helm of a new SUV.
