(October 10, 2011) NEW YORK — Sirius XM Radio and Subaru of America today announced that Subaru will offer satellite radio on all models beginning with 2012 model year vehicles. Additionally, all 2012 model year Legacy and Outback Limited models will come standard with factory-installed satellite radio.

All Subaru customers purchasing new satellite radio-equipped vehicles will automatically receive a 4-month trial subscription to the XM Select package which includes more than 130 channels of commercial-free music, premier sports, news, talk and comedy from SiriusXM.

In addition, customers purchasing Impreza and Forester models equipped with the all-new factory navigation system will also automatically receive a 4-month trial subscription to SiriusXM and NavTraffic services. 

"Subaru is very pleased to offer our customers entertainment and data services from SiriusXM," said Thomas J. Doll, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America. "SiriusXM satellite radio and NavTraffic bring value to our vehicles and also benefit the adventurous, outdoor lifestyle of our customers.  The feature has proven to be quite popular on our fast-selling 2011 Legacy and Outback models, so it made sense to expand availability to more Subaru customers."

Subaru expects SiriusXM satellite radio to become standard equipment on additional trim levels and models in upcoming model years.
