Demonstrations of “Physical AI”-driven systems to enhance driver and passenger sensory experiences.
growth through innovation
AAC ranks among the world’s top ten passenger car audio suppliers, and is the only Chinese company on that list. The company sustains its market leadership through annual R&D investment of 7–10% of revenue, a global presence in 19 countries, and more than 18,000 patent applications.
These investments have translated into results: the company’s automotive sector revenue grew 13% year-on-year in its 2025 interim report, reaching RMB 1.74 billion. Automotive acoustics is now a key driver of AAC’s overall business expansion.
premium partnerships and immersive experiences
One of the show’s highlights was the Zeekr 9X luxury SUV, co-developed with British brand Naim Audio. Together, the partners unveiled a 9.2.4.8 multidimensional immersive sound system, integrating 32 speakers, 8 seat shakers, and a 40-channel independent amplifier delivering a peak power of 3868W. This system enables 2D, 3D, and 4D immersive soundscapes, redefining the in-cabin experience.
Such partnerships underscore AAC’s ability to combine high-fidelity sound with real-time customer profiling and intelligent system design, bringing its “AAC inside” vision to life in next-generation vehicles.
