7 Year Warranty From The Day You Drive Away

Quality redefined. That’s how we describe our 7 year or 100,000 mile warranty: a unique and clear commitment to ensuring you benefit from the highest standards in car manufacturing. It’s also our commitment to you, demonstrating our confidence of quality in every component and that your Kia will stand the test of time.

Every one of our models is covered by the balance of a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty which is extended back up to the full 7-year term through a third-party provider. The cover is fully transferable, meaning if you resell your Kia within the warranty period, the new owner will benefit from the remaining time or mileage. This is a key part of the Kia Promise – designed to deliver lasting value, confidence, and peace of mind for every owner.

To maintain your warranty you must service your vehicle in line with the stated inspection and maintenance schedule.

With Kia you get 7 years of driving pleasure, 7 years of fun, 7 years of adventure, excitement and exhilaration. Not to mention 7 years of lower running costs and 7 years peace of mind...

The battery SOH for all Approved Used Cars should typically be in the very high 90s if not 100%.
