  • The six speaker system is standard on the GLS, SE and Hybrid models and has an 104 watt capacity. It has an AM/FM satellite radio with a single disk CD changer.

    GLS and SE owners have the option of an AM/FM satellite radio with a CD/MP3 audio system with seven speakers and an external amp that supplies 360 W. They offer the same system with a six-disc CD changer that produces 360 W.
