Private Concert Hall Outlander gets custom Yamaha audio for 2025

The collaboration between Mitsubishi Motors and Yamaha, a world leader in musical instruments and au- dio equipment, has elevated the Outlander with a pair of premium sound systems featuring up to 12 speak- ers as standard equipment. The partnership brings a new level of premium audio experience, turning every drive into a symphony of crystal-clear sound and rich, immersive tones. This is the first Yamaha-branded in-car audio system to be sold in the North American market, and this system will immediately place itself as a pinnacle of in-car audio. Mitsubishi Motors also has the distinction of being the first manufacturer in the North American market to offer premium brand- name audio directly from the entry trim line. Fine-tuning by Yamaha’s Sound Meisters Sound Meisters are true artists of sound, bringing every musical performance to life with incredible pre- cision. They don’t just hear the music—they feel the passion behind every note and every breath of the artist. By capturing even the smallest emotions and de- tails, they create a listening experience so real, it’s like the performance is happening right in front of you. Building on decades of innovation and expertise in designing acoustics for concert halls and theatres, Yamaha's sound engineers have collaborated with Mitsubishi Motors in creating an optimal acoustic en- vironment within the interior of the Outlander. In the same way that Mitsubishi Motors’ philosophy is to de- liver a vehicle that operates as the driver intends it, Yamaha’s philosophy is to deliver a music experience as the artist intends it.

There are two distinct Yamaha-developed systems in the 2025 Outlander, Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium and Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate. Both transform the vehicle into a listening room on wheels, creating a unique sound experience and a private concert hall in the cabin. The aural capability of the systems are aided by the addition of optimized sound deadening and engin- eering, which maximizes speaker performance while minimizing buzz, rattles and holes in the vehicle structure, all of which would negatively impact what the listener hears. No detail was overlooked, even go- ing so far as to develop an entirely new inner door panel for the Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate sys- tem that is sealed, which eliminates road noise and allows the entire door cavity to be used as a speaker enclosure. This was only possible because Mitsubishi Motors and Yamaha engineers worked alongside each other, neither willing to compromise, and they jointly developed world-class audio systems. Yamaha audio in every trim Standard in the Outlander ES, SE, LE and SEL trim lines, Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium combines the power of eight Yamaha speakers. The top-level GT and GT-Premium trim lines get Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate, which incorporates 12 speakers, including a sub-woofer and 1,650-watts of power. Specific to the Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate, the diaphragms of the mid-range squawkers and low-range woofers were developed based on Yamaha’s flagship NS-5000 home audio speaker and its ZYLON diaphragm, that provides ideal transient response, enabling
