Kia is known to provide the best new vehicle warranty in the industry. With longer coverage terms and more comprehensive plans, your Kia warranty has your back to help protect you from unexpected repair costs. Learn about the warranty benefits when you purchase a new vehicle from your Kia dealer.
Kia Warranty: Comprehensive Coverage Explained at Your Kia Dealer
Kia’s industry-leading powertrain warranty lasts for 10 years or up to 100,000 miles. It covers essential powertrain components like the transmission and engine that may be damaged due to defective parts or workmanship.
The limited basic warranty for your new Kia will last five years or up to 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and provides comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage. It’s important to note that there are exclusions to the bumper-to-bumper coverage, such as wear and tear parts that must be routinely replaced as part of regular maintenance. Wear and tear parts could include windshield wipers and brake pads.
Anti-Perforation Warranty
The anti-perforation warranty is designed to help cover the repair costs for exterior body panels that are damaged by internal mechanisms, such as if corrosion or rust damage starts from the inside of the vehicle. This warranty lasts for five years or as long as 100,000 miles.
Battery Warranty
Kia has a specific warranty coverage for the original battery that comes with your vehicle. Kia will replace the battery if the battery is defective within the first three years or 36,000 miles of vehicle ownership.
Audio System
Your audio system, specifically your speakers and related entertainment system components, are also covered under a warranty that lasts for three years or 36,000 miles.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant
One unique coverage Kia offers is for the refrigerant in your air conditioning system. This one-year warranty will replace the refrigerant in your Kia if there is a mechanical defect, such as a leak.
Roadside Assistance
If you ever find yourself stuck with a mechanical breakdown or a flat tire, your warranty will also offer some roadside assistance benefits. This plan includes services such as jump-starting your battery, changing a flat tire, or towing your vehicle to the nearest authorized dealership. Each time you use this benefit, Kia will charge you $75.
What Are Specific Exclusions?
Other than wear and tear parts, your warranty coverage outlines several other exclusions. Your warranty will not cover the cost of routine maintenance, such as multi-point inspections, tire rotations, or oil changes. If your vehicle is damaged by improper repairs, environmental disasters, or a car accident, your warranty will not cover repairs.
Your warranty from Kia offers extensive coverage that far outshines the new car warranty plans offered by other vehicle manufacturers. Call us at 301-459-1100 or stop by DARCARS Kia of Lanham in Maryland to schedule service.
