Hyundai Offers 7-year warranty across line up, including EVs

Hyundai, one of the first brands to bring EV offerings to Australia, has now increased the warranty on all their passenger cars to 7 years, including their EV lineup – if they service their vehicle at a Hyundai dealer.

The previously long-standing 5-year offering had been in place for 18 years, and still remains for owners who choose not to service their car at a Hyundai dealership nationwide.

This warranty also includes key vehicle components such as corrosion, paint durability and multimedia system, which is more than what many other brands offer today.

“As the first automotive brand in Australia to offer a 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty, we recognise the strategic importance of competitive warranty coverage,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia CEO, Don Romano, said in a statement.

“Over the past few months, we have worked closely with our National Dealer Council to develop a compelling and highly attractive warranty package that provides further peace of mind for our owners.”

Currently, Hyundai sells electric models in various popular segments. One of its more long-standing models is the Kona Electric, as well as the Ioniq 5 SUV, and the Ioniq 6 sedan.

Earlier this year, Hyundai launched two models that target the compact city car segment in the form of the Hyundai Inster while also bringing a large 7-seater electric SUV, the all-new Ioniq 9.

The Ioniq 9 is also the brand’s most luxurious offering to date, which of course comes with a steep price tag, starting from $119,750 before on-roads.

On its EV lineup, the brand will continue to offer its 8-year 160,000 km warranty on the car’s high voltage battery pack, which has been an industry standard over the last few years.

This warranty offering is quite good for EV buyers, although not the 10-year warranty offered by MG on all cars, including EVs.

The new 7-year warranty excludes vehicles used for commercial purposes.

It’s also backdated to 1 June 2025 for customers who have recently purchased a Hyundai.

Back in 1999, Hyundai introduced a 5-year 130,000-kilometre warranty, which was upped to a 5-year unlimited-kilometre offering in 2007.
