I have this car and this audio system. The bass is tight, and sounds reasonably accurate if you don't push it too hard - but not particularly strong, Not sure how much can you really ask from two 165mm (6.6") bass speakers and a 200mm (7.9") subwoofer (Equivalent in area to one 302mm (11.9") speaker). I am very tall and have the driver's seat as far back as it goes. Since the subwoofer is under the seat, the positioning could be affecting my experience. Trying to position the center of sound rearward a bit for my position significantly affects the frequency balance and quality so much so, that the feature is unusable. The Meridian processing does do a great job of imaging, however, I sometimes find the processing muffles some detail and prefer to use another mode at those times. The imaging is, however, very good. I don't believe the dual view is not available in the US - at least not in California. You cannot rip a CD to the internal disk and play it at the same time, so better be prepared to wait... The recording quality is very good, though. It is super easy to connect an iPod, iPad, and Android phone all of which I have used to stream music. That said, the iPod/iPhone interface for selecting music on the display from a lot of Artists/Songs is extremely bad - unusable. And when I star the car with the iPod plugged in, it shows a list of songs rather than song information for the current song, and I have to go to the main menu, and back to the audio mode to display song information. That is actually more annoying than the sound system, which is actually better than any other factory sound system I have heard other than my 1994 Ford Explorer JBL sound system. It was actually one of the reasons I bought the car after test driving many others.
What is this non-sense about them not playing music in the review? seriously? Music played through the In-car music system recorded over Camera then played through UA-cams presumably garbage compression and then through your 'desktop grade' PC speakers WILL NOT give you any idea of the actual quality of the Meridian Sound system that Land Rover has put in this car : ). He's already done the work for you. Listen to the guy telling you about the details, depth, staging and separation to gauge the quality of the sound system. Thanks for the review.
why is their so many dislikes lmaoo. guy is just giving an over view and an explanation on how the system works, he never promised a sound test. that will bring in copyright issues and you can’t judge the sound through your speakers cuz it’s not what it’ll sound like in real life
Old me analyst. Miss my sound Stage and neon That was joy Merida princess. Put the band back together . Think about you everyday. Honest Truth Heart and Soul open so much I wanted to say .
Hybrid Audio Technologies, DLS, Morel, for true SQ (Sound Quality) car audio, those are the only brands you need to know about, not all this B&O, B&W, Lin, Naim, Meridian in car garbage, and according to Gary Summers (UA-cam search it), these systems are seriously lacking.
so absolutely pointless then............................................let me tell you all about my own home hifi.......then explain stuff no ne cares about. demonstartion???? no?? so pointless really
People moaning about hearing the quality- You're not going to get a decent gauge of how it sounds on an iPad or through laptop speakers.
+amillwardmusic Indeed!

It's something you have to tell guitar players all the time. "How does the amp sound?" "Go to a music shop and use your own ears"
The only smart people here
Lol i came to see where are these 17 speakers located 🙄
@@tonytoxic5360 3 each front door, 2 rear doors, one sub under the floor, 2 in the dash and 2 in the rear quarters
This sound system setup in the Evoque is amazing. I hear details in music tracks that premium headphones and earphones don’t produce.
the surround version is to this date one of the best car audio systems
I was wating for him to play some music but then I saw the comments.Goodbye!
what's the benefit from that dufus
I have the same system in my XF and must admit that the sound is very good .
At first I gave a thumbs up and I thought how people could give a thumbs down by the time I watched the video I did understand it

Well I found this very useful tbh!
Drove today an Evoque with Meridian Sound System.
I'll be short:

SPINE
You should drive Gs450 with MarkLevinson system much better
The range rover looks like a hatchback when this guy sits in it.
def would have been nice to hear a sample. Its like talking about a product while its kept in a box.
DualView is really nice and clever feature!
I wish VW would have it someday :P
Really cool screen... two things at once... buuut we didn't hear the audio.....
what difference would it make? you wouldnt be able to judge it anyway
does it come with BIG subs? nicely hidden in the boot
anything below a pair of 10s will not do
:)
Great explanation... people are just ignorant and stupid... but a real life demo would have been great ;)

Thanks for the review.
+1 AMEN!!! true too much steps how can go wrong
nice review. thanks
Thumbs up if you were watching the whole video waiting for some actual music to be played!
Yes bro
I look at thumbs up or down before I spend my time watching an entire YT video.
Am I old fashioned cos I want only want a left and right channel for the majority of my music.
What the f**k why don't you play the music i was waiting for that

Then why did he get into his car in the first place? He could have done this from his desk 😂
Praveen Kumar to show you that he’s actually driving and listening to the Meridian system

It would have been nicer to actually here something rather than some fella rattle on for 7+ mins

닥치고 음악이나 틀어.
Lot of speech and no music play -_-
