Is it necessary to upgrade the audio system in the Buick Excelle?

If you have higher requirements, you may consider upgrading. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Buick Excelle: The new Excelle adheres to Buick's "dynamic and fluid" design language, drawing inspiration from the classic elements of the Riviera concept car. Its body styling is sporty yet stable, presenting a new Excelle with a grand, minimalist, elegant, and dynamic style. The new wing-shaped chrome grille, combined with black piano vertical grille and high-gloss chrome wing grille, naturally draws the visual focus of the front to the logo. At the same time, the wing grille extends horizontally to the headlights on both sides, enhancing the horizontal visual effect and overall sense of the front. 2. Model positioning: The Buick Excelle is another masterpiece launched by the Buick brand after the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave, based on the "global platform, European and American technology." It integrates the best dynamic genes that the Buick brand has given to mid-size cars, bringing a new five-door coupe driving experience to the mid-size car market.

Whether the Buick Excelle's audio system needs modification depends on your specific usage. As someone who drives frequently, especially long distances, I find the factory audio system sufficient for my needs. It handles radio broadcasts and pop music well, delivering clear and non-harsh sound. However, if you're after higher audio quality, such as for classical or blues music, upgrading to better speakers can significantly enhance the detail. The modification typically costs a few thousand yuan and should be done by a professional shop to avoid damaging the car's wiring. Overall, unless you're an audiophile or frequently drive long distances, it's not necessary to spend the extra money—saving it for car maintenance is more practical.

If you have high standards for music quality, the stock audio system in the Excelle can feel a bit lackluster. As someone who enjoys rock and electronic music, I always found the bass response underwhelming. Upgrading to a powerful subwoofer or replacing the speakers makes a world of difference. The cabin comes alive with vibrant energy, turning long drives into pure enjoyment. However, costs can climb to around 4,000-5,000 yuan, so choose a reputable shop for installation to avoid post-upgrade rattling issues. Personally, I consider it a worthwhile investment, especially for music-loving drivers – the refined, multidimensional sound truly elevates your daily driving experience. Just be sure to stay within your budget and avoid overspending on unnecessary modifications.

From a safety perspective, the original audio setup in the Excelle is fully compliant. Having driven it for so long, I've never felt it affects driving. Modifications are usually unnecessary and can even be distracting—for instance, complex system adjustments may introduce noise hazards. The factory sound quality is average, sufficient for navigation or casual music listening, helping to alleviate fatigue but not crucial. Prioritize staying focused on driving; don't risk circuit modifications for such minor gains—safety comes first.
