Sirius is now available as standard equipment on the 2007 model year Range Rover and Supercharged Range Rover Sport. Add to that, Sirius will now be a factory installed option on the all-new LR2 that goes on sale here in the States next week.

This makes Sirius as either a factory-installed option, or as standard-equipment, on all Land Rover vehicles (including the LR2, the LR3, Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover).

"Land Rover is delighted to offer Sirius as a standard feature or a factory option on all of our vehicles in the US," said Richard Beattie, Executive Vice President of Marketing & Sales Land Rover North America. "Land Rover can take you anywhere and with Sirius you can listen to your radio wherever your Land Rover may take you."

Land Rover is part of the Ford Motor Company's Premium Auto Group (PAG) which includes Volvo, Jaguar and Aston Martin as well as Land Rover.
