SiriusXM and Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) announced today a multi-year extension and expansion of their services agreement. Under the agreement, MBUSA is expected to make the installation of SiriusXM a standard feature on Mercedes-Benz models available in the United States, starting with model year 2024 vehicles. Additionally, SiriusXM with 360L – SiriusXM’s most advanced audio entertainment experience – is anticipated to make its Mercedes-Benz debut in future models.
“Mercedes-Benz has always offered their customers an exceptional luxury experience that combines performance, technology and elegance. We’ve worked together for more than 20 years and we’re thrilled to not only extend our relationship, but also expand the availability of SiriusXM to more Mercedes-Benz owners by making it a standard installed feature across their entire lineup in the U.S.,” said Gail Berger, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Automotive Partnerships, SiriusXM. “Additionally, as we introduce SiriusXM with 360L to the Mercedes-Benz lineup, owners will be able to experience the benefits that our latest generation audio entertainment platform delivers.”
SiriusXM with 360L combines satellite and streaming content delivery into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience, which provides drivers and their passengers with more choice and a more personalized listening experience.
SiriusXM with 360L delivers more SiriusXM channels, plus thousands of hours of recorded on demand content and podcasts. The platform offers personalized “For You” recommendations and the ability to access related content, allowing listeners to discover more of the programming they love. A Live Sports category makes it easier to find broadcasts of games and other sporting events.
The Mercedes-Benz SiriusXM with 360L experience will also include SiriusXM’s Pandora Stations feature. Drivers can create their own ad-free music stations based on the artist they are listening to, then give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down within the SiriusXM service to create personalized channels that play more of what they want.
Mercedes-Benz customers purchasing or leasing SiriusXM-equipped vehicles in the United States will continue to receive a six-month trial subscription to the SiriusXM Platinum Plan. The SiriusXM Platinum Plan delivers SiriusXM’s full lineup of varied content, plus access to SiriusXM outside the vehicles on the SXM App and on connected devices and speakers in the home.
