Robb Report gave the Volvo Premium Audio system top marks in a recent review.
More detail here! (http://www.v70xc.com/news/volvo-audio-system/volvo-audio-system.html)

According to additional research the Premium Audio system should be available in the XC by now, not just the S60 and C70 as noted in the article.

I think ive tried almost every car on the marked in the SUV class by now.... and Ive owned a S80 before as well as I currently have (and have had for the last 4 months) a v70 rental.. the Volvo sound systems.. even the non premium.. beat the competition.. yesterday I left the Lexus dealer laughing after trying the RX300.. it wasnt even up to the standard 603 volvo sound system..

I had to have padding placed in the doors to stop the incessant buzz from the speakers.  Thank goodness it was within months of my taking the car as it hardly qualifies as defective gear (warranty).

I have the HU-613 system, which to my untutored ear sounds great.  Does anyone know who makes the HU-613?

Wiz,

I believe Mitsubishi is the manufacturer for the audio systems on the V70/S60/S80. I think that Alpine provides the head and amplification units on the C70. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Well I think Mitsubishi did a great job. I've read one or two people complaining about the audio on this board but the sound in my car is very good. Maybe a bit heavy on the bass, I had to adjust that, but otherwise I'm pleased (wonder how many sub-woofers Volvo sell).

The only thing I would have liked is multi-CD in the dash. But I want the tape player too and I guess that takes up the space. I'll deal...
