Disney+ Hits Now Streaming In Your Backseat
General Motors just solved one of parenting’s most persistent problems. Starting with 2025 and newer models, Disney+ streaming is now available in select Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC SUVs. It joins an already impressive lineup that includes Hulu, Tubi, YouTube and YouTube Kids. The feature requires an active Disney+ subscription and an eligible OnStar plan, starting at $19.99 per month. For families facing hours of summer road trips, that’s a small price to pay for peace.
The roster of vehicles getting Disney+ includes the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade lineup including the Escalade IQ and Celestiq, plus the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. These family SUVs now transform into mobile entertainment centers, with content streaming to both front passenger and rear screens. Bundle subscribers get even more value, with Hulu and ESPN programming accessible directly through the Disney+ app.

From Frozen Sing-Alongs to Marvel Zombies Marathons
The timing couldn’t be better for content offerings. Disney+ subscribers can stream new releases like the global phenomenon Lilo & Stitch, Lucasfilm’s award-winning series Andor, or Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season 2. Seasonal content like Hocus Pocus and the new Marvel Zombies series means there’s something for every family member and every occasion.
The automotive streaming revolution started gaining momentum in 2019 when Tesla introduced its Tesla Theater feature with Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu streaming through dashboard displays. GM’s move to add Disney+ expands options beyond what Tesla currently offers, recognizing that family-focused content matters just as much as mainstream streaming platforms.
