Hyundai Motor Company Australia has introduced a 7-year unlimited kilometre warranty for passenger vehicles, conditional on owners maintaining dealer servicing from the first service onwards.
The enhanced warranty applies to all new Hyundai passenger vehicles first registered from 1 June 2025, including SUVs and models with petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) powertrains. The coverage is backdated to eligible vehicles already purchased since June.
To qualify for the full seven-year coverage, owners must complete all scheduled services at authorised Hyundai dealers according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule. Vehicles serviced outside the Hyundai network retain the standard 5-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,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive Don Romano says.
“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.”
The 7-year warranty covers key vehicle components including corrosion, paint durability and multimedia systems, which Romano says offers more benefits than most competitor offerings. High-voltage batteries in hybrid and electric models retain their existing 8-year or 160,000km warranty, whichever occurs first.
Warranty evolution
Hyundai’s warranty enhancement continues the brand’s history of extended coverage in Australia. The company introduced a 5-year, 130,000-kilometre warranty in 1999, before extending to unlimited kilometres in 2007.
Eligible vehicles also receive an extended 7-year Bluelink subscription and access to 24/7 Australia-wide Premium Roadside Support for the vehicle’s lifetime when owners continue servicing within the Hyundai network.
The launch coincides with the introduction of myHyundaiCare, replacing the current iCare program. The new service platform reflects Hyundai’s global commitment to providing proactive and personalised service experiences, allowing owners to quote and book services online.
Commercial exclusions
The 7-year warranty excludes the STARIA LOAD commercial van, which retains a 5-year, 160,000km warranty. Passenger vehicles used for commercial applications including taxi, hire, ride-share, rental, courier, delivery or driving school services are limited to a 5-year, 130,000km warranty.
The enhanced warranty program represents Hyundai’s effort to strengthen its value proposition in Australia’s competitive passenger vehicle market, where extended warranty coverage has become an increasingly important factor for buyers.
