Does Chevy have SiriusXM?

Yes, Chevrolet vehicles come equipped with SiriusXM satellite radio as a standard or available feature. Chevy has offered SiriusXM as an option on most of its models for over a decade, providing drivers with access to hundreds of channels of commercial-free music, news, sports, and entertainment programming.


Chevy's SiriusXM Offerings


Chevrolet has long been a partner of SiriusXM, integrating the satellite radio service into its vehicle infotainment systems. Most new Chevy models come with a trial subscription to SiriusXM, allowing customers to experience the service before deciding whether to continue the subscription.


The specific SiriusXM features and packages available in Chevy vehicles can vary by model and trim level. Higher-end Chevy trims may include more premium SiriusXM packages with additional channels and features. Customers can also upgrade their SiriusXM subscription after the trial period ends to access more content.
