From January 1, 2022, the law establishes that The product warranty must be 3 years.which also affects the purchase of a new car in accordance with Royal Decree-Law 7/2021. However, this so-called legal guarantee can be supplemented by a commercial guarantee offered by the manufacturers themselves so that the consumer can benefit from extended coverage or an extended validity period. Of course, the car’s mileage is limited to a certain number.
An analysis of brands operating in Spain revealed interesting data because not everyone offers the same guarantees. The reality is that most of them (33, 64.7% of the total) choose three-year insurance; although on the other hand there are four organizations that offer 7 years. Of course, there are other manufacturers in the middle: two companies give 6 years; eleven who choose 5-year insurance and two who prefer 4-year insurance. That being said, it’s time to find out the names of each of these manufacturers.
The organizations with the longest coverage over time do not come from Europe or the US. We’re talking about just four Asian organizations which offer their customers a 7-year warranty with a mileage limit of 150,000 kilometers.
Let’s remember this Kia was a pioneer in Spain back in 2010, offering this type of coating for all its models. When it comes to Chinese brands, the three we mentioned have taken the same route to showcase the quality of their products.
At the lower level we still find no trace of European brands, since the only two manufacturers in this category are still Asian.
Both offer a 6-year warranty and a 150,000 kilometer mileage limit. However Mazda offers free extension up to 10 years/200,000 kilometers, provided that the user carries out scheduled maintenance in official branded services.
In this group we do find some European objects combined with others from the Asian continent.
Although they all come with a 5-year warranty, the stated number of kilometers is not the same because even The three brands offer no restrictions in this regard. This applies to Alfa Romeo, Honda and Hyundai.. For their part, Aiways, Jaguar and Land Rover set the limit at 150,000 kilometers, the rest reduce it to 100,000 kilometers. Xpeng sets it at 120,000 km.
Regarding the warranty extension we mentioned earlier, the only one that offers this option is SuzukiWith extension up to 10 years/150,000 kilometers.
We have only two representatives in this category:
There is also differences from the agreed mileage Well, Tesla sets it at 80,000 kilometers; however, the Chinese company varies it depending on the chosen model: 60,000 km for the E5 and 70,000 for the 600.
Other manufacturers operating in Spain comply with the legal guarantee. Here we find the following names:
However, we again find some differences between them, since three brands set a limit of 100,000 kilometers. This applies to Lexus, Nissan and Toyota.
However, Toyota and Lexus are the most renowned brands when it comes to warranty extensions as they allow their customers to extend coverage to at least 15 years/250,000 kilometers
. Citroën and Nissan, for their part, extend it to 10 years/200,000 kilometers, and Peugeot to 8 years/160,000 kilometers. Dacia also joins this policy with an extension of up to 7 years/150,000 kilometers.Of all the companies presented here, the vast majority have in their product range electrified models that use high voltage battery (forget about the 12 volt battery and how to use car clamps, you would be very frustrated here). Whether they’re all-electric models or plug-in hybrids, these vehicles come with a time- or mileage-specific warranty to ensure there’s no degradation in the capacity of said batteries. Most of the duration of this coverage is 8 years/160,000 kilometersalthough there are exceptions.
BYD and Smart do not change the duration, but set higher limit in kilometers which is 200,000 km. The same thing happens with Tesla: Model S and Model Y travel 240,000 kilometers, and Model 3 and Model Y Long Range are satisfied with 192,000 km. Of course there is also brands that offer lower mileage in these 8 years. This applies to Aiways (150,000 km), Dacia (120,000 km) or Land Rover (100,000 km).
Lexus, in turn, stands out from the rest in that it offers 5 years/100,000 km, like Suzuki, and the same happens with Toyota’s hybrid models, but not with its electric ones (8 years/160,000 km). DFSC, offers 3+1/100,000 km; Land Rover, 6 years/100,000 km; KGM, 6 years/150,000 km; Suzuki, 5 years/100,000 km and Kia, 7 years/150,000 km (2 year warranty on battery of MHEV models). Mercedes is the brand that offers the longest warranty on its electric vehicles (except EQA and EQB): 10 years/250,000 kilometers.
We have already seen that the used car market (best used cars for sale) has become increasingly important in recent years due to the movement of customers who prefer a cheaper used car over a much more expensive new one. They all wondered: what is the warranty on a used car?
Well, the current rules state that a used car sold through a professional (dealership, company or individual) has The legal guarantee is three years, although the law allows for a term agreement to shorten this period. However, in no case can a warranty be established for less than one year..
In case of sale through specialguarantee six months (Articles 1485–1490 of the Civil Code). If during this period defects appear that could not be seen at the time of purchase, the buyer may require the seller to eliminate the hidden defects. So, if you’re interested in purchasing one of the top recommended used cars, keep this in mind.
