Range Rover Evoque: the story so far - Meridian sound system for Evoque

The Range Rover Evoque will have audio systems developed by British hi-fi specialist Meridian Audio.

The systems will match the sound quality of Meridian's high-end home entertainment equipment, Bob Stuart, Meridian founder and chief technical officer, told our sister site whathifi.com.

'We believe that the hi-fi systems used in the next generation of Range Rovers will set new standards in automotive in-car entertainment,' said Stuart.

The Evoque will be available with two optional Meridian sound systems: a powerful 380-watt, 13-speaker arrangement, and a top-of-the-range 825-watt, 19-speaker unit with full surround sound.

State-of-the-art amplifiers incorporate Meridian's latest digital processing technology to ensure 'perfectly optimised sound quality'.

Harman Kardon will continue to supply Land Rover with 1200-watt, 19-speaker surround sound system for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.
