Alexa just isn’t as smart as your smartphone’s assistant.

. It comes with an adhesive-backed magnetic mount that attaches to your car’s dashboard. There’s not a lot of open space on my dash, and I was a little worried it would sit too close to the car stereo’s volume dial. But it’s deceptively small, and I found a good spot for it out of the way of any buttons or knobs.

There’s a speaker and 3.5mm jack for auxiliary audio output built into the matchbox-sized breakout box. Alexa is also able to open up Apple Maps with a specified destination via voice command, but I still have to tap a button in the app to start or stop the navigation. Siri, on the other hand, can do these things without any additional input from me.

The Echo Auto’s strength remains its very good microphones. This version has five instead of eight and relies more on “improved algorithms” to understand voice commands. Even with fewer microphones, it’s still very good. It can hear me speaking at a normal volume, even with the heater and fans running at full blast. It has a harder time if I’m on the highway with the window down, but it can hear me better than I’d expect without having to speak up much.
