NEW YORK -

Last week, Kia Motors America announced its customers will continue to receive a three-month SiriusXM all-access subscription. The OEM and SiriusXM have extended their partnership by another five years, taking the offering through Kia’s 2023 model year.

The all-access programming package is the satellite radio company’s most expansive, and includes streaming via its mobile app.

“Kia continues to distinguish itself as a leading manufacturer of safe, dependable and affordable vehicles, which is recognized by their top ranking in the most recent J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, and their IIHS Top Safety Pick ratings,” said James Wu, vice president, automotive partnerships for SiriusXM.

“Their customers are very loyal and we are pleased to extend our long-term relationship to continue to provide those customers with the benefit of SiriusXM’s exceptional audio entertainment and infotainment services," he added. 

Kia customers will also receive a three-month subscription to the SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link infotainment services. The traffic tool offers detailed information on traffic speed, accidents and more before drivers hit congestion; while the travel tool provides info like weather, fuel prices, movie listings and more.

“Extending our relationship with SiriusXM and continuing to provide Kia customers with SiriusXM’s extensive offering of audio entertainment and infotainment services was a priority for us,” said Orth Hedrick, VP, strategy and planning for Kia Motors America.  “The ability to continue offering SiriusXM, and with it access to an exceptional lineup of programming choices – hundreds of channels of commercial-free music, plus live sports, comedy, news and more – is integral in enhancing the Kia experience for many years to come.”
