Volvo EX90 Owners Receive World-First Abbey Road Audio Tech
June 26 2025,
Volvo EX90 drivers are getting access to something no other vehicle owner has experienced before: Abbey Road Studios Mode. This exclusive audio technology brings the legendary recording studio's signature sound directly to your daily drive, creating an entirely new category of automotive audio experience.
The collaboration between Volvo Cars, Abbey Road Studios, and Bowers & Wilkins represents a first in automotive history. No other car manufacturer has successfully recreated the acoustic characteristics of the world's most famous recording studio, making this technology exclusive to EX90 owners.
Behind the Collaboration
Abbey Road Studios brings over 90 years of recording heritage to this partnership. The iconic studio has hosted everyone from The Beatles to Adele, creating a sonic legacy that the new EX90 technology captures through advanced acoustic modeling.
Bowers & Wilkins contributed their premium audio engineering expertise, working closely with Abbey Road's sound specialists to translate studio acoustics into automotive applications. The result is multiple sound presets that recreate different aspects of Abbey Road's unique acoustic environment, from intimate recording booths to expansive mixing rooms.
Over-the-Air Innovation at Work
This update showcases Volvo's leadership in connected vehicle technology. The company can now deliver software improvements to approximately 2.5 million cars across 85 countries, transforming ownership experience long after purchase.
EX90 owners with the Bowers & Wilkins audio system will receive Abbey Road Studios Mode automatically through their vehicle's internet connection. The update requires no dealership visit, no USB drives, and no technical expertise from the owner—it simply appears as a new audio option in your infotainment system.
Audio Excellence in Every Detail
The EX90's cabin acoustics create the perfect foundation for Abbey Road Studios Mode. Volvo engineers designed one of their quietest interiors ever, eliminating road noise that could interfere with high-fidelity audio reproduction.
Twenty-five speakers positioned throughout the cabin work together with a 1610-watt amplifier system. Each speaker placement was calculated to optimize sound distribution, while Dolby Atmos capability adds three-dimensional audio positioning that enhances Abbey Road's spatial processing algorithms.
Automotive Audio History Made Here
Abbey Road Studios Mode transforms the EX90 into more than just transportation—it becomes a mobile concert hall with the acoustic signature of music history's most important recording space. This technology sets a new standard for what's possible when automotive engineering meets musical artistry.
