Would you happen to be playing audio through Bluetooth? My car has a delay for non-call Bluetooth audio which causes that delay for me and gets really annoying. I will often take the phone off car Bluetooth just for that reason.

On my phone it doesn't even get the audio prompts out when I'm playing music from the phone through bluetooth.
The music just cuts out for a few seconds, but there's no navigation audio.
I've turned off navigation prompts for that reason, and just check the "next turn" thing at the top every now and then.
What's even more bizarre is that for me, when using bluetooth audio I get part of the prompts, but other parts are missing. I I remember correctly, it leaves out important words like "left" amd "right". It works fine as soon as I turn off bluetooth.
I get the prompt starting, then the volume on the music is lowered.

No, straight from the phone.
Last weekend I had a friend in the car using apple maps on a newish iPhone, and every prompt from his phone was around a second earlier than from my phone. At 35 mph, one second is 50 feet (15 meters). That's enough to turn a safe maneuver into an unsafe one.
