What kind of audio system does the Mazda Atenza have?
4 Answers
It is equipped with a genuine BOSE audio system. BOSE's pursuit of sound quality remains unchanged, and the BOSE audio system can indeed deliver superior sound quality compared to ordinary audio systems. Introduction to the Atenza: 1. Exterior design: Adopts Mazda's KODO design philosophy, featuring a U-shaped front grille paired with LED headlights for a stronger sporty feel. Compared to the previous generation Mazda6, the Atenza's wheelbase has been increased by 105mm, providing more spacious rear seating. 2. Configuration: Equipped with high-performance MacPherson strut independent front suspension + multi-link independent rear suspension. Through structural optimization, it achieves both weight reduction and increased rigidity.
I drive the new Mazda Atenza, and the top trim comes with a BOSE sound system featuring 11 speakers strategically placed around the cabin. The speaker layout is specially designed to create a surround sound effect that envelops you when seated in the driver's position. The bass is deep and powerful without being overwhelming, and vocals in pop music come through with exceptional clarity. The audio control panel on the center console is user-friendly, and the system even adjusts the volume automatically based on driving speed. Lower trims may only come with a standard audio system, so I highly recommend trying the BOSE setup in the higher trims. Just note that configurations may vary across model years, so it's best to check the specific specs before purchasing.
Last time I accompanied a friend to test drive the top-trim Mazda6 Atenza, what impressed me most was its BOSE sound system. The audio tuning clearly leans towards a sporty style - electronic music had particularly punchy beats, while classical pieces showcased crisp piano keystrokes. The infotainment system comes with several sound field modes to switch between, showing the manufacturer put serious effort into the entertainment system. Compared to the Accord's audio system in the same price range, the Atenza's BOSE setup has clearer advantages in bass performance. However, the base model's standard sound system feels somewhat thin, so if the budget allows, I'd recommend directly considering the high-trim version with BOSE.
As an Atz owner, I'll be honest: the main difference in the sound system lies in the configuration. The top trim comes with a BOSE system featuring 11 speakers, including dedicated bass units in the rear. When playing music, you can clearly feel the surround stereo effect, with rich mid-tones that are pleasant to the ear. However, the sound system in the base model is more basic, with a standard 6-speaker setup that produces thinner sound quality. Fortunately, the seat positioning is well-designed, so the audio experience from the driver's seat isn't bad at all. If you opt for the BOSE-equipped version, make sure to try the Centerpoint surround mode in the infotainment system—it offers a nice little surprise.
