New Car Warranty
A new car warranty is the manufacturer's promise to repair defects for a set time or distance.
What is New Car Warranty?
Terms vary by brand. Wear parts are often excluded. Batteries in EVs often have separate terms. In the EU, sellers also have a legal guarantee obligation for at least two years for new goods, which is separate from the manufacturer's warranty. Some brands offer warranties of five or seven years. Warranty is often transferable to the next owner, which helps resale value.
How it works
The manufacturer covers repairs of defects.
