When it comes to audio, Yamaha has been a legend for over a century—pianos, guitars, amps, and professional sound systems. Now, that legacy has taken something new: a seat in your SUV.

A Sound Revolution Begins

In 2024, Mitsubishi launched a strategic collaboration with Yamaha, starting in Japan with models like the Outlander and XFORCE. Now, it’s coming to North America with the refreshed 2025 Outlander—marking Yamaha’s first made-for-USA vehicle sound system.

Two Premium Audio Tiers

  • Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium: An 8‑speaker system tuned for wide appeal and clarity.
  • Dynamic Sound Yamaha Ultimate: A high-end, 12‑speaker setup using Yamaha’s advanced ZYLON® diaphragms and dual amplifiers for jaw-dropping depth and precision.

What Makes It Legendary

  • Sound Meisters in the Mix: These experts fine-tune every nuance—capturing micro-emotions in music like breath, texture, and pulse for a hyper‑real listening experience.
  • Concert-Hall Quality: Yamaha repurposed technology from concert acoustics—using DSPs originally designed for world-class venues, now tailored to your vehicle cabin.
  • Speaker Tech, Amplified:
    • Midrange, tweeters, woofers, and subwoofers built with advanced materials and design (even including acoustically sealed door panels) create a three-way soundstage that spans the full emotional range.
  • Smart, Adaptive Sound: The system features unique adjustments like Speed‑Compensated Volume (SCV), Rain and A/C noise compensation, four mood-aligned “sound types,” and seating position optimization to ensure peak clarity in any environment.

Real-World Praise

A recent road‑test from Kelley Blue Book called the system “pretty darn good”—even outperforming some Bose setups in competing SUVs—and called its customization features “neat”.

Bottom Line

If you love music, this isn’t just a stereo. It’s a performance. The Yamaha partnership elevates the standard Mitsubishi drive into something cinematic, emotional, and intensely personal. With the 2025 Outlander, every commute or road trip can feel like a private concert—right in your own ride.
