THEY SWORE THEY WOULD never do it, but Hyundai has succumbed to the increasing pressure to equal its rivals’ seven-year warranty, partly, we suspect, as a result of being overtaken in Australian sales by its Korean rival Kia.

Availability of this new seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty encompasses the entire Hyundai passenger vehicle portfolio, including SUV’s, and covering petrol, diesel, hybrid and EV powertrain models. 

Importantly for customers who have recently purchased a new Hyundai passenger vehicle, the warranty is backdated so that vehicles first registered from 1 June 2025 are eligible. 

To be eligible for the full seven year coverage, owners are required to have all scheduled services (from the first service onwards) completed by an authorised Hyundai dealer. 

“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.” 

Key Details

• Applicable: all new Hyundai passenger vehicles first registered from 1 June 2025 are eligible (excluding STARIA LOAD and vehicles used for a “commercial application”, such as taxi, hire, ride-share)
• Service activated: the seven-year warranty is conditional on all scheduled services being completed at an authorised Hyundai dealer from the first service onwards
• In addition, each scheduled service must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended schedule at the specified servicing intervals for the duration of the seven-year ‘Extended New Car Warranty’. 
• High-voltage battery retains eight-year/160,000 km (whichever occurs first) warranty
• The seven-year warranty covers key components such as corrosion, paint durability and multimedia system (which are sometimes excluded from competitor brand offerings)
• Where an eligible vehicle meets the necessary Hyundai dealer servicing conditions for the seven-year warranty, the complimentary Bluelink subscription is also extended to seven-years.
• 24/7 Australia-wide Premium Roadside Support Plan available for the lifetime of the vehicle when customers continue to service within the Hyundai network
• Excludes: commercial vans (STARIA LOAD) which retain five-year/160,000km (whichever occurs first) warranty
• Excludes: vehicles used for “commercial applications”
• For customers who wish to service their vehicle outside of the Hyundai network, the “standard” five-year unlimited kilometre warranty still applies
