Australia's best new car warranties in 2026

There are more than 60 auto brands currently present in Australia. More are coming every year, and each one has unique warranty periods and terms.

Because it’s difficult to figure out exactly what each brand does and doesn’t offer, we’ve compiled a list of important information about the aftersales provisions provided, and we’ll update it continuously as details change.

This is intended to provide information on what the average buyer can expect from each brand in terms of their standard warranties. Caveats and disclaimers explained within each section where possible or necessary.

We’ve also provided links to the warranty information page on each brand’s website where possible.

Australia’s longest new-vehicle warranty is currently offered by Nissan – 10 years or 300,000km if scheduled servicing takes place at an official Nissan dealer

NOTE: The term “commercial use” used throughout this article generally refers to use cases including but not limited to businesses, self-drive hire, ride-sharing, or driving schools – unless otherwise specified.

As of September 1, 2025, Hyundai cars and SUVs are backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, which is also available for new vehicles delivered and registered after June 1, 2025.

Corrosion, paint and infotainment systems are included in this warranty, while high-voltage batteries (if applicable) continue to be covered by Hyundai’s existing eight-year, 160,000km warranty.

MG’s 10-year extended warranty (and its seven-year/unlimited-km standard warranty) applies to private buyers of all models (including hybrid and electric vehicles), while for vehicles used for commercial purposes – including fleet and business customers – the warranty is seven years or 160,000km (again, whichever comes first).

But on July 1, 2025 MG also announced a different warranty for commercial vehicles including its upcoming U9 ute, which will be backed by a five-year/160,000km warranty for commercial buyers, or a five-year/unlimited-km warranty – extendable to seven years and 200,000km for private buyers, once again if they service exclusively with MG dealers.

For both its standard and extended warranties, MG requires servicing to be completed within 30 days and 2000km of a vehicle’s scheduled service intervals.
