Kia’s Legendary 10-year, 100-thousand-mile Powertrain Warranty

When you buy a Kia, you are not just getting a well-designed, award-winning vehicle. You are getting one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in the entire automotive industry. At Mechanicsville Kia, we think that kind of confidence is worth talking about, because it is one of the most compelling reasons to choose Kia over the competition.

Every new Kia comes backed by a multi-layer warranty program that covers your vehicle from the moment you drive it home. The core of that program includes:

• 5-year / 60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• 5-year / 100,000-mile Limited Anti-Perforation Warranty
• 5-year / 60,000-mile Roadside Assistance

All three working together to give you a strong foundation of protection right out of the gate.

This is the coverage that turns heads. Kia’s Limited Warranty is one of the longest and most comprehensive powertrain warranties available on any vehicle sold in America today. It kicks in after the expiration of the basic warranty and covers the essential components of your engine, transmission, axles, differentials, propeller shafts, and more, including internal parts, seals, gaskets, and key assemblies.

For original owners of new Kia models as well as buyers of Certified Pre-Owned Kia vehicles, this warranty delivers a decade’s worth of protection and peace of mind that simply cannot be matched by most competitors.

If you are driving one of Kia’s electric models, the protection extends to your electric drivetrain as well. Kia’s EV System Warranty covers the electric motor, high voltage battery, electric power control unit, and on-board charger for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Battery capacity is also protected, with coverage kicking in if the battery drops below 70% of its original capacity, and repairs or replacements guaranteed to restore it to at least that level.

Life on the road is unpredictable, and Kia’s 5-year / 60,000-mile Roadside Assistance has you covered when the unexpected happens. Services include towing to the nearest authorized Kia dealer, out-of-gas assistance, flat tire help, jump starts, and lockout assistance. If you experience a warranty-covered breakdown more than 24 hours from home, Kia also provides reasonable reimbursement for a rental car, lodging, and meals. That is coverage that goes well beyond what most other brands offer.

Traditional used Kia models are not covered under the manufacturer warranty, but Certified Pre-Owned Kia models are a different story entirely. Every CPO Kia undergoes a thorough 164-point inspection to ensure like-new quality, and comes backed by a Kia powertrain warranty, 10 years of roadside assistance, trip-interruption services, and much more. It is one of the strongest certified pre-owned programs in the industry.

Is the Warranty Transferable?

Yes, several key Kia warranties transfer to subsequent owners, including the 5-year anti-perforation warranty, the 5-year basic warranty, and the 5-year roadside assistance plan. The 10-year powertrain warranty is also transferable, though it is redesignated as a 5-year / 60,000-mile warranty for second owners, still a meaningful level of protection that adds real value to any pre-owned Kia purchase.
