2021 TOYOTA RAV4 – JBL 11-SPEAKER SOUND SYSTEM REVIEW AND TEST | APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Toyota RAV4's 11-speaker, 800-watt JBL audio system is a pleasant surprise, offering impressive clarity, power, and balance for its price point. The reviewer found the system's general performance to be strong, with good power in the mid-range and a well-balanced, crisp bass, even when pushed to its limits. While the reviewer noted some issues with the USB connection causing the infotainment system to freeze, and expressed a general dislike for Toyota's infotainment interface, the audio quality itself was highly praised. Subjectively, the system is rated as an eight and a half to a nine out of ten for its class, rivaling competitors like the Mazda CX-5's Bose system. The reviewer concludes that for a compact crossover in this price range, the JBL system delivers exceptional audio fidelity.
