2025 Rivian R1S – 12-speaker Base Sound System Review
I understand that the R1S isn't exactly a luxury vehicle, but you can't tell me this is a good enough audio performance for a $100k vehicle.

    You need to hear the Meridian system in the Gen1 R1T. It's an awesome system. Way, way better than the in-house Standard or Premium system and I've heard all three. Better than the Levinson system in my Lexus, the Harmon Kardon in my BMW and Bang and Olufson in my previous Audi. Not as good as the Bowers and Wilkins systems I've heard in high end Volvos. The Rivian in house system is trash and your D tier lines up.

    Well done, and good luck! Sub'd. Rivian keeps asking "Any questions?!?" as I decide. Finally asked: "Any RCA outs", "Can speakers be swapped out?", etc.? My understanding beyond no USB support is the audio hardware is locked down. Not sure how that's possible, but bad news if so.

    I have the “auto sound leveling” off, but I swear some of my songs play louder than others. I’ll play a song and have the volume on 50 and it barely bangs, but then the next song comes on and it’s louder. All music from Apple Music, non of it it’s like downloaded or whatever, what’s going on?

      Make sure you have soundcheck turned off in the settings for Music app on the iPhone. That helped a ton for me, but some songs are just mastered at different volume levels so not much else you can do.

    For the price comparison, an iX 50 with a B&W system is 100k. X3 with HK is 60k. A well optioned X5 50e with HK system is 85k. No B&W system available for X3 or X5 in 2025.

    So glad you finally had a chance to review the Rivian systems. I have an early Rivian w/ the Meridian system and I love it. It's the best system I have ever owned (although still not as good as the Volvo B&W). I've been tempted to upgrade to the newer/updated Rivians, but one thing that held me back is the big downgrade in audio quality. Even my kids who are usually clueless were complaining about poor sound quality of the newer systems. I think your score of a D reflects our impression. Hopefully some day you'll get a chance to review the original Meridian system. I'm interested to hear what you think.

      A shed load of soundproofing is a starting point but realistically it has a canvass roof and they can only keep a certain amount of noise out. Plus it’s set up as a sports car, so firmer suspension, lower profile tyres all add up to a bad starting point for audio. You could upgrade all the speakers and add an aftermarket dsp amp but how great a result you’ll get is more down to the installation parameters than the kit you use.
