Kia to significantly increase its installation rate of SiriusXM
SiriusXM and Kia Motors America announced today an expansion of their long-term agreement. The two companies are extending their relationship through 2025, and over the course of the agreement Kia will significantly broaden the installation of SiriusXM throughout Kia models and trims produced in North America. This increased penetration rate will begin with model year 2022 vehicles and means SiriusXM is targeted to become a standard feature on nearly all of Kia vehicles sold at retail in the U.S.
