Volvo Cars has begun the integration of Apple Music into more than two million Volvo cars via an over-the-air software update. The Volvo EX60 will also come with Apple Music natively integrated when the first customers receive their cars this summer.
The Volvo EX60, EX90 and ES90 will also offer Apple Music Spatial Audio, powered by Dolby Atmos and available through the optional Bowers & Wilkins sound system, which distributes audio across the cabin.
“Many of our customers use Apple Music on their phones or in their homes today. By bringing Apple Music directly into our cars, we’re making them an extraordinary place to experience music,” said Alwin Bakkenes, head of software engineering at Volvo Cars.
“You’ll feel as if you’re right in the middle of a concert hall or an arena during your favourite live performance or immersed in the latest music in Spatial Audio exactly as the artist intended – a truly emotional listening experience.”
High-fidelity sound
The Volvo EX60, EX90 and ES90 feature enhanced soundproofing and are available with an advanced audio system calibrated to each car’s interior acoustics.
The optional Bowers & Wilkins sound system in the EX60, EX90 and ES90 delivers an “exceptional music experience”, the auto maker said, with True Sound powered by high-performance speakers integrated throughout the cabin.
