    Sophisticated Design

    Harman Kardon’s ambition of keeping its branding always subtle and sophisticated perfectly suits to Volvo’s minimalistic approach. The distinctive speaker grills are highlighted by a 60° hole pattern in a nod to the iconic angled slash in the Harman Kardon logo. The holes are adapted to follow the outline of the car’s speaker grille and give an acceleration to the grille so it feels more dynamic, embodying the radiating energy of Harman Kardon sound.

Reviews

  • Volvo C40 Recharge | Technik News

    “It sounds simply brilliant. No distortion at high volumes and even when the subwoofer is at 100 percent, nothing rattles in the car. As a total package, this sound experience definitely offers the well-known Harman Kardon sound.”

  • Volvo EX30 | Sempre Audio

    “A high-performance audio system that features a range of innovative speaker technologies that have been perfectly integrated into Volvo's latest electric car to deliver nothing less than a limitless audio experience.”

  • Volvo EX30 | Auto Presse

    “Big sound in the small Volvo EX30”

  • Volvo EX30 | Tech Visor

    “The optional Harman Kardon Premium Surround Sound System is designed specifically for the unique cabin of the EX30 to enable an immersive listening experience while blending seamlessly with the car's design language.”

  • Volvo EX30 | Automotive Today

    “Harman Automotive brings immersive sound to the new Volvo EX30.”

  • Volvo XC60, Stefan Ogbac – Motor Trend

    “…a Harman Kardon audio system, which is crisp, clear…can easily turn your car into a concert hall.”

  • Volvo XC40, Zach Butler – Tflcar.com

    “The subwoofer’s port is coupled outside the cabin, and the cabin itself is treated as a giant enclosure. Basically, that’s allowed Harman/Kardon to fit more powerful speakers in less space than a conventional unit, making for much better sound in a relatively small package”

  • Volvo S90, Stefan Schickedanz – LowBeats

    “But the Harman Kardon loudspeakers offer for comparatively little money all the basics that count for conscious listening with a trained ear.”
