Hyundai launches 7-year warranty in Australia

Hyundai Motor Company Australia (HMCA) confirmed today (September 1, 2025) that its entire passenger car range – including petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric SUVs and hatchbacks – now qualifies for the longer warranty when serviced exclusively through the Hyundai dealer network.

The move builds on Hyundai’s history of warranty leadership in Australia:

• 1999: First to introduce a 5-year / 130,000 km warranty
• 2007: First with a 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty
• 2025: Now expanding to a 7-year unlimited kilometre warranty

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

How the 7-year warranty works

• Standard coverage: All new Hyundai passenger vehicles come with a 5-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
• Extended coverage: To qualify for the full 7 years, all scheduled services must be completed at an authorised Hyundai dealer from the first service onwards.
• Eligibility: Applies to new Hyundai passenger cars registered from 1 June 2025 (excluding STARIA Load vans and vehicles used in “commercial applications” such as taxis, ride-share, rentals or delivery vehicles).
• Coverage scope: Includes corrosion, paint durability and multimedia systems – areas not always covered by rivals.
• EVs: High-voltage batteries retain their separate 8-year / 160,000 km warranty.

Where customers meet the dealer-servicing conditions, Hyundai will also extend its Bluelink connected car subscription to 7 years and continue to provide 24/7 Australia-wide Premium Roadside Support for the vehicle’s lifetime, provided servicing is performed within the Hyundai network.

Commercial-use warranty conditions

• Passenger cars used commercially: 5 years / 130,000 km
• People Mover Vans (commercial use): 5 years / 160,000 km
• Commercial vans (e.g. STARIA Load): 5 years / 160,000 km, regardless of use

After-sales overhaul- myHyundaiCare

The warranty update is part of a broader aftersales refresh. Hyundai has retired its iCare program in favour of myHyundaiCare, designed to deliver more connected, transparent, and personalised servicing.

The Lifetime Service Plan has also been rebranded as the Genuine Service Plan, reinforcing Hyundai’s focus on factory-trained technicians and genuine parts. Customers can now instantly quote and book services online.
