What sound system does the Volvo S90 use?
2 Answers
Volvo S90 uses Harman Kardon audio system. Harman Kardon is a company under Harman International Industries specializing in manufacturing home and automotive audio systems, headquartered in Woodbury, New York, USA. It serves as the primary audio supplier for automakers such as BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, and for Toshiba laptops. The Volvo S90 measures 5083mm in length, 1879mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3061mm. In terms of power, the Volvo S90 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, integrated with a reversible electric motor (ISG) as part of Volvo's 48V mild hybrid system, and paired with an 8AT transmission.
I test drove the Volvo S90 last week, and its audio system left a deep impression on me. The top trim comes with a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, specifically the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system, boasting around 1400 watts of power and 19 speakers. The sound quality is incredibly clear, especially when listening to classical music on the highway—the highs are not harsh, and the bass is rich, making for a very comfortable experience. The standard version features a Harman Kardon audio system, which is also excellent, with 15 speakers, ideal for daily playback of pop music and podcasts. I think audio quality is crucial while driving—it helps reduce fatigue and makes long trips more enjoyable. If you're considering the S90, I’d recommend prioritizing the top trim with the B&W system. Although it’s pricier, the investment in your ears is worth it. In short, the audio system isn’t just a tool for playing sound—it’s integrated into the car’s overall sense of luxury.
