2022 HUMMER EV PICKUP – 14-SPEAKER BOSE SOUND SYSTEM REVIEW | APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO

EV Channels Review

The review focuses on the 14-speaker Bose audio system in the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup. While the system offers a good range of inputs including wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (with the latter supporting widescreen), the reviewer found the audio quality to be only slightly above average, awarding it a 'B' grade. Key criticisms include a lack of adjustability beyond a basic three-band equalizer and no surround sound options. The sound profile is described as having a hollowness in the mid-ranges, with bass that is boomy rather than powerful and punchy, and not as impactful as expected for the vehicle's price point. The reviewer suggests that while the system is acceptable for a lower-tier vehicle, it falls short of expectations for a $100,000 electric truck, especially when compared to other Bose systems in GM vehicles.
