Skoda Australia says it was the first European brand to introduce a permanent five year warranty in 2017 and now it is claiming another first with the provision of a seven year warranty.
It will be available with immediate effect on all new Skoda models purchased from the national dealership network.
All deliveries, of both new and sales demonstrators from September 1, will be retrospectively granted the warranty extension.
This warranty cover is part of the nationally advertised driveaway price of all Skoda model, including RS performance variants. It is valued between $1,150 and $1,670. The cover in years six and seven is also uniquely identical to the initial years and, therefore, exceptionally comprehensive says the brand.
The seven year warranty headlines Skoda Australia’s array of “ease of ownership” fixtures, which include five- or seven year service packs, or a service and maintenance subscription being a no commitment, ‘pay as you go’ offer complementing the packs.
Customers who have purchased a Skoda in the past five years, can upgrade their existing warranty to seven years.
Skoda Australia Director Michael Irmer says that the brand embodies the maxim that: “Value means more than a sticker price”.
“Ease of ownership, peace of mind and more metal for the money – these are values on which Skoda prides itself on,” Irmer says.
“The seven year warranty is full cover without common exclusions such as infotainment systems or starter batteries. We remain intent on becoming a leading brand in the sphere of lifetime ownership experience in Australia.
“Outside of our service packs and now warranty extension, Skoda service and maintenance subscription is an additional alternative that offers a Simply Clever ‘pay as you go’ option.
“Providing a wholly European vehicle with innovative and emotional product, combined with an ease of ownership is something we are truly passionate about,” he says.
