When considering a new car purchase, warranty coverage is often a pivotal point in the decision-making process. We’ve observed that Hyundai typically garners attention with its America’s Best Warranty, which promises a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty alongside comprehensive coverage for 5 years/60,000 miles. These warranties are designed to provide peace of mind by covering various vehicle components against manufacturing defects.
Hyundai has expanded coverage to include its hybrid and electric vehicles, boasting the same 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty that accommodates the unique aspects of these advanced powertrains. Regular maintenance is key for these warranties to remain valid, as neglect could lead to voided coverage. Our experience with Hyundai’s responsiveness to warranty claims suggests a commitment to honoring their warranty provisions, though individual circumstances can influence the outcome.
It’s essential for owners to understand that warranty work must be completed by authorized Hyundai dealerships to ensure the integrity of the vehicle and compliance with warranty terms. This network of dealerships facilitates access to qualified technicians and genuine Hyundai parts, maintaining the vehicle’s performance and reliability. The warranty is particularly reassuring for significant components like the engine and transmission, which can be costly to repair or replace without coverage.
Exploring Hyundai’s Comprehensive Warranty Packages
When purchasing a Hyundai, customers are often reassured by what is known as “America’s Best Warranty.” We will examine the benchmark coverage that Hyundai provides to ensure that buyers are well-informed about the warranty details safeguarding their vehicle.

Criteria and Limitations of Warranty Coverage
When considering Hyundai’s warranty, it’s important to understand its scope and boundaries, especially regarding wear items, repairs, and warranty transferability, to ensure you don’t encounter surprises.
Understanding Wear Items and Maintenance Needs
Hyundai’s warranty covers defects in workmanship or parts, but it’s crucial to differentiate between those and general wear items. Wear items include but are not limited to brakes, clutches, and filters, which typically diminish over time due to normal use. These are generally not covered by the warranty, as maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
Limitations for Coverage on Parts and Repairs
The warranty strictly covers only defects in factory-installed parts. It excludes issues arising from improper maintenance, alterations, accidents, or the use of non-genuine Hyundai parts and accessories. Only authorized Hyundai dealers can perform warranty repairs to ensure compliance and preserve the integrity of your warranty coverage.

The 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty can be transferred to subsequent owners. However, it is essential to note that the transfer may have limitations, such as a reduced term for the powertrain warranty for the new owner.

| Powertrain Warranty | 10 Years/100,000 Miles | May be reduced |
