Top factory-fit car audio systems: from Volvo EX90 to BMW 7-Series

Factory-fit audio in modern cars is increasingly more than background noise—it’s becoming a reason to choose one model over another. Brands now compete not just on speaker counts, but on soundstage tuning, cabin isolation, digital modes and, crucially, how faithfully a system handles vocals and real instruments. In a list of standouts published by SPEEDME.RU, several models make music feel as if you’ve stepped into a dedicated listening space.

The Volvo EX90 pairs with a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins setup and an Abbey Road Studios mode that reshapes the presentation to evoke a studio room rather than a crossover cabin. The Mercedes-Maybach S 680, fitted with Burmester and 30 speakers, leans into pristine clarity and active noise cancellation: the road recedes and the fine print of a recording comes to the front.

The Lincoln Aviator Black Label with Revel Ultima (28 speakers) builds a wraparound stage and seems to suspend sound around occupants by placing part of the array overhead. The Range Rover Autobiography’s Meridian Signature system (29 speakers) doesn’t chase sheer loudness; it centers on depth and accuracy, letting the layers of an arrangement come through.

The Jeep Wagoneer’s McIntosh setup (19 speakers) delivers a dense, rock-friendly character and a wide stage. The Cadillac Celestiq with AKG Studio Reference (38 speakers) targets studio-grade balance and consistent listening from any seat. And the BMW 7-Series with Diamond Surround Sound (36 speakers) offers profiles that range from a concert-hall vibe to a more cinematic take.
