Volvo integrates Apple Music Spatial Audio into over 2 million cars

Apple Music with Spatial Audio, powered by Dolby Atmos, is being rolled out to more than two million Volvo vehicles through an over‑the‑air software update. The service is built into the new Volvo EX60, EX90 and ES90 models and can be accessed via the central touchscreen or voice commands.

Customers who meet certain criteria receive a three‑month free Apple Music subscription, allowing them to explore the catalog of over 100 million songs without ads. The integration works with Volvo’s optional premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system, which is calibrated for each cabin to deliver an immersive, concert‑hall‑like experience.

Alwin Bakkenes, Head of Global Software Engineering at Volvo Cars, said the partnership “brings Apple Music directly into our cars, turning them into extraordinary spaces for music,” adding that the spatial audio experience feels “as if you are at the centre of a concert hall or arena."
