2020 CHEVROLET BOLT EV PREMIER – BOSE SOUND SYSTEM TEST

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed test of the Bose audio system in the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier. The reviewer finds the 7-speaker system to be average, noting that while it has the capability for strong bass, particularly from the subwoofer, the overall mixing and speaker placement prevent it from delivering an immersive experience. The tweeters are noted as being too far away from the door speakers, leading to a disconnect in the soundstage. While the system isn't harsh and doesn't produce ear-fatiguing sound at higher volumes, it lacks the crispness and dynamic range found in better audio setups. The reviewer suggests that improved speaker placement and mixing, rather than just more power, could significantly enhance the audio quality. The Bolt EV itself is briefly mentioned as having a 259-mile EPA range for 2020, with a note that real-world figures will vary. Ultimately, the Bose system is rated as average, scoring a 5 out of 10, and considered slightly above average for its class.
