It&#8217;s Hyundai\u2019s first fully electric SUV for the Chinese market and arrives with Dolby Atmos as standard. That\u2019s a move that could signal a new chapter for in-car audio systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-spatial-audio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dolby Atmos<\/a> is designed to give listeners a more rich and immersive listening experience. The Elexio comes with six built-in speakers, all of which support Dolby Atmos. Those wanting a little extra can upgrade with the BOSE external amplifier, expanding the setup to eight speakers for even more depth and clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaming services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-tencent-music\/\">Kuguo Music<\/a> and iQIYI are integrated directly in the car, making it even easier to become immersed in your favorite music. It\u2019s not just about music though. Dolby makes it clear that passengers can also enjoy movies and dramas in Dolby Atmos in their cars, effectively \u201ctransforming the car cabin into an entertainment hub on wheels\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/d21buns5ku92am.cloudfront.net\/68644\/images\/623270-exterior%20KV-568db3-large-1761618953.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.dolby.com\/en-WW\/256074-hyundai-motor-group-brings-dolby-atmos-to-elexio-hyundai-motor-group-s-first-china-exclusive-electric-vehicle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dolby<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Making immersive audio accessible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As The Verge points out, up until now, spatial audio experiences like Dolby Atmos have mostly been confined to luxury models when it comes to cars. Dolby Atmos-inclusive models from Mercedes-Benz, Rivian, Cadillac, and Lucid have all had hefty price tags north of $70,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Elexio, Hyundai is breaking that barrier. The SUV, launching exclusively in China for now, is priced between $16,800 and $21,000. That makes the Dolby Atmos in-car audio much more accessible for a listening experience that was once reserved for luxury vehicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The road ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyundai says it looks forward to bringing this \u201cinnovative experience to more models and customers around the world\u201d. However, whether they plan on integrating Dolby Atmos to vehicles in other markets any time soon remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the Elexio feels like a glimpse into the future where immersive, richer sound is standard part of every drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\">Distribute your music for free to streaming platforms everywhere with RouteNote.
