At the heart of the is the next generation Harman infotainment system. The overall system is designed to minimize power consumption, which is achieved thanks to the innovative new Intel® processor on board. The same mindset is applied to the Harman Kardon® GreenEdgeTM high-efficiency audio system. This revolutionary technology satisfies the highest demands for superb sound reproduction while dramatically reducing energy consumption and weight, resulting in efficiency levels never before possible. In the "iChange", a total of twelve Harman Kardon HiETM high efficiency speakers are driven by a highly efficient eight-channel amplifier. The Class D amplifier, with Harman's uniquely designed output amplifier stages, achieves efficiency levels in excess of 90 percent, compared to 35 to 50 percent in conventional models. Together this system reduces current required dramatically while providing a new benchmark in dynamic performance. In addition, the embedded satellite navigation system calculates the most energy-friendly route, and guides the driver to the destination by means of a realistic 3D display.
