News - HyundaiHyundai launches seven-year warranty in OzCars and SUVs gain longer warranty when servicing through Hyundai’s dealer network1 Sep 2025 By MATT BROGAN HYUNDAI Motor Company Australia has announced the introduction of a service-activated seven-year warranty on its passenger vehicle and SUV range from 1 September, with exclusions for commercial and goods-carrying applications.
The South Korean importer says the move will help further strengthen its value proposition against its competitors while at the same time offering long-term peace of mind to Hyundai customers.
Availability of the new seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty covers all models in the Hyundai passenger vehicle line-up, as well as all driveline types – petrol, diesel, hybrid, and battery electric.
Importantly for customers who have recently purchased a new Hyundai passenger vehicle, the warranty offer will be backdated so that vehicle registered from 1 June 2025 are eligible for cover.
Unlike sister brand Kia, Hyundai stipulates that to be eligible for seven years of cover, owners are required to have all scheduled services completed by an authorised Hyundai dealership. Otherwise, the warranty defaults to the prior five-year/unlimited-kilometre coverage.
“As the first automotive brand in Australia to offer a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, we recognise the strategic importance of competitive warranty coverage,” said Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive officer Don Romano.
“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.”
Vehicle used in commercial applications, such as taxi and ride-share operations, are ineligible for seven-year warranty coverage, as are those models used in goods transportation.
The Staria Load commercial van retains a warranty period of five-years or 160,000km, whichever comes first.
High-voltage battery coverage in hybrid and electric vehicles continues to be covered for a period of eight years or 160,000km, whichever comes first.
Importantly – and as is often not the case in competitor warranty offerings – the Hyundai seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty program extends to key components such as corrosion, paint durability and multimedia system.
Where an eligible vehicle meets the necessary Hyundai dealer servicing conditions for the seven-year warranty period, the complimentary Bluelink subscription is also extended to seven years.
An Australia-wide 24/7 premium roadside support plan is available for the lifetime of the vehicle.
Hyundai now joins Chery, GWM, JAC, KGM, Kia, and Skoda in now offering a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranties.
