0 24

Several General Motors products will soon be heavily discounted.

GM made a three-year premium OnStar subscription of $1,500 mandatory on all Buick and GMC models for 2023, but is reversing that decision for the 2024 model year.

The telematics system offers a range of features that include automatic crash response, turn-by-turn navigation, stolen vehicle locator, in-car WiFi and the subscription otherwise costs $49.99 per month .

It will now only be included with GMC Hummers as well as GMC Denali luxury models and Buick Avenir trim, Automotive News reported.

General Motors did not say whether the decision was a result of customer feedback, but growing investments have been providing some price relief to the market.
