NEW YORK -

Kia Motors America and SIRIUS XM Radio finalized an agreement Wednesday to enhance the automaker’s certified pre-owned inventory.

Officials said customers who purchase a SIRIUS-equipped Kia CPO unit will receive an introductory three-month subscription of the SIRIUS Everything package. They explained the SIRIUS Everything package contains more than 135 channels of premier sports, news, talk, entertainment and commercial-free music programming plus traffic and weather information.

Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing and communications for Kia Motors America, offered reasons why this satellite radio initiative has been incorporated into the automaker’s CPO program.

“Kia has offered SIRIUS as standard equipment with an introductory three-month subscription to customers of our new Kia vehicles for several years,” Sprague stressed.

“Offering the same introductory three-month subscription of SIRIUS to our CPO customers highlights the features and amenities available in Kia vehicles and adds value to our CPO program,” he added.

Joe Verbrugge, senior vice president and general manager for the automotive remarketing division at SIRIUS XM Radio, added, “Kia prides itself on offering its customers the latest technologies and sees the value of SIRIUS and the unique experience it provides drivers on the road, delivering commercial-free music from every genre, games from your favorite sports teams, exclusive talk, comedy and more.

“We are thrilled that Kia is offering its three-month introductory subscription of SIRIUS to their CPO vehicles and making it available to even more of their customers,” he went on to say.
