Why Kia’s 7‑Year Warranty Stands Out for UK Drivers


Discover peace of mind with Kia’s unmatched 7‑year or 100,000‑mile manufacturer warranty, offered as standard across the range, not as an expensive extra. It’s one of the most generous coverage policies in Europe, built on Kia’s confidence in their vehicle quality and engineering

Key Benefits of Kia’s 7‑Year Warranty


Comprehensive Manufacturer-Backed Coverage

Enjoy extensive protection from workmanship or manufacturing defects, covering key components like the engine, transmission, steering, and gearbox.

Full Warranty Transferability

When you resell your Kia, the remaining warranty transfers to the next owner. Even a three‑year‑old model still offers more coverage than many competitors’ brand‑new cars.

Lower Running Costs & Strong Resale Value

By covering both parts and labour, this extended warranty reduces long‑term maintenance costs and helps retain residual value at resale.

European Travel Coverage

Repairs under warranty are valid across Europe, and Kia will cover parts and labour, providing reliable support even when you’re on the move.

Important Terms & Exclusions to Note

Paint is covered for 60 months or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
