Clarion is the exclusive audio supplier of Suzuki's first-ever XM
Satellite Radio audio system. Outfitting the automakers all-new 2006 Grand
Vitara and the 2006 XL-7, the audio system comes in two versions: a single CD
player or 6 disc in-dash radio. Either will allow buyers to access XM's more
than 150 channels of commercial-free music and premier news, talk, sports and
entertainment programming. Both vehicles are expected to reach dealerships
nationwide by mid-September 2005.
"We're extremely excited about our newfound partnership with American
Suzuki," said Matt Matsuda, President of Clarion Corporation of America.
"Suzuki is a world-class automaker who Clarion has had a long-standing global
relationship with."
As an added bonus, buyers of Suzuki's two SUV models will receive a three-
month complimentary subscription to XM for activating their satellite radio
service at the dealership. Based in Washington, D.C., XM is currently
available for a monthly subscriber fee of $12.95.
"Not only does this new option offer Suzuki customers a chance to tap into
XM's coast-to-coast satellite radio coverage, but the luxury of doing so via a
great audio system with superior sound quality," added Matsuda.
