Which cars typically feature Dynaudio sound systems?
3 Answers
Dynaudio sound systems are currently used in the VOLVO S80, FAW-Volkswagen CC, and Volkswagen's flagship luxury sedan, the Phaeton. Dynaudio Tweeter Unit: The Dynaudio tweeter unit relentlessly pursues the most faithful reproduction, highest linearity, and lowest distortion. It delivers neutral sound without any coloration, excellent texture, and fast transient response. Most astonishing is its incredible power handling capacity—Dynaudio tweeters can withstand 10ms/1000W without burning out, a devilish benchmark many units cannot achieve. Dynaudio Woofer Unit: The large voice coil woofer is another Dynaudio masterpiece, featuring its signature magnesium silicate polymer (MSP) diaphragm, oversized 75mm voice coil, short-throw design, internal magnet structure, and symmetrical magnetic circuit—truly unparalleled. The large voice coil design better controls diaphragm movement, handles greater power without distortion, and reproduces richer details. Naturally, such design and manufacturing are more challenging and costly, which is why few manufacturers besides ATC and AudioTechnology venture into this territory.
Actually, I know quite a bit about car audio systems. Dynaudio is mainly used by the Volkswagen Group now, since they acquired it back in 2014. You'll find it in many high-end Volkswagen models like the Magotan and Touareg. Audi also uses it frequently - top trim levels of volume-sellers like the A4L and Q5 often come with Dynaudio. But the most special case has to be Polestar, Volvo's electric brand - they've made Dynaudio standard equipment across their lineup, and the sound quality is truly crisp. Though I've heard some domestic brands like the XPeng P7 also carry the Dynaudio badge - I'd recommend test-listening before buying.
Last year when I changed cars, I specifically test-drove models equipped with Dynaudio. It's true that Volkswagen Group models are the most common – you can spot the silver Dynaudio badge on the top-trim Passat. But what surprised me was that even the Bugatti Veyron uses Dynaudio, though it's unfortunately out of reach for ordinary people. Nowadays, domestic car brands are getting more creative – the 7-seat Lynk & Co 09 SUV even embeds the Dynaudio logo directly into the audio control panel, complete with seat vibration features. A reminder for friends looking to buy used luxury cars: the 12-speaker Dynaudio system in older Phaetons is absolutely classic – remember to check if the audio system is intact when purchasing.
