Which brands offer the best new car warranties in Australia?

There are now about 70 auto brands 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 information regarding the aftersales provisions provided, and we’ll update it continuously as information changes or becomes available.

This is intended to provide information on what the average buyer can expect from each brand in terms of their standard warranties, with 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.

Hyundai

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.

However, the existing five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty will remain the Korean brand’s standard aftersales offering, with the extra two years of coverage only applicable to owners who complete scheduled servicing on time within Hyundai’s network.

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.

The inclusion of paint within the standard vehicle warranty is an improvement over the previous offering, in which this was covered only for three years or 100,000km.

The extended coverage covers only privately registered vehicles, and excludes any passenger car used for rideshare, business or rental purposes. The Staria Load commercial van is also excluded from the seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty offer.

Hyundai’s new vehicle warranty is transferable between owners. Genuine Hyundai parts are covered by a one-year warranty, while genuine accessories are covered for five years.

To be eligible for the fourth and fifth year Maserati Extended Warranty, a vehicle must be covered by the initial three-year warranty and have travelled less than 130,000km for petrol models, and 150,000km for diesels. It provides the same general coverage as the initial warranty from purchase.

MG

MG announced its 10-year, 250,000km extended warranty on August 1, 2024, but from July 1, 2025 it was revised and now requires owners to complete scheduled servicing within the official MG dealer network – just like Nissan’s industry-leading 10-year/300,000km and Mitsubishi’s pioneering 10-year/200,000 extended warranties.

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).

MG's U9 ute, however, is 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.
