In a world full of fast-moving trends and low-quality products, the Kia Powertrain Warranty stands proudly. The Kia brand is committed to innovation and sustainability across their lineup of automobiles, and this dedication is backed by their industry-leading 10-year or 100,000-mile Kia Powertrain Warranty for both new and certified pre-owned models.1,2
New Kia warranty coverage also extends to rust, corrosion, towing, and lockouts, so if a new Kia Niro EV has your attention or you're curious about a CPO Kia Forte warranty, join Jim Ellis Kia of Kennesaw as we explore and explain the benefits of your next model's coverage. Better yet, shop the hundreds of new and certified pre-owned options we carry with a tour and test drive at our local dealership.
Since the Kia Powertrain Warranty protects your new vehicle for 10 years or 100,000 miles,1 drivers have taken to calling this coverage a "Kia Lifetime Engine Warranty." This moniker makes sense, especially considering that recent studies confirm the average American keeps their longest-owned car for eight years, with 64% holding onto their current models for five years or less.3
While it's impossible to see eight years into your future, there's a good chance you'll need or want a different vehicle by that time, so viewing this long-term coverage as a "Kia Forever Warranty" is only logical. Here's what you'll gain when you leverage our Kia special offers, join the Kia family, and start enjoying your powertrain warranty benefits:
Every new Kia in our showroom, from the popular Optima to the eco-friendly EV9, comes with a Kia Powertrain Warranty, New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Limited Anti-Perforation Warranty, and Roadside Assistance.1,3,4 When you boil this down to brass tacks, these protections mean you can enjoy popular models from our new Kia inventory without the headache or stress that comes with malfunctioning parts.
