Best Car Warranties:
What Makes Hyundai Stand Out in 2025?

The Foundation of Confidence: Unpacking Hyundai's New Car Warranty Coverage

How can we say that Hyundai has the best car warranties in the US? It's the brand’s exceptional coverage periods that surpass its rivals. This new car warranty coverage is a clear demonstration of confidence in the quality and durability of every vehicle they build. Here's a breakdown of the key benefits you'll enjoy when you choose a new Hyundai.

10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty

This is the cornerstone of Hyundai's industry-leading coverage. Your vehicle's most vital components – the engine, transmission, and transaxle – are protected for a decade or up to 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. 

This level of protection significantly reduces the risk of unexpected, costly repairs down the line, giving you profound peace of mind. While this specific coverage is generally for the original owner, it still speaks volumes about Hyundai's build quality.

Most mainstream brands offer only five years and 60,000 miles of coverage. To put it another way, Hyundai coverage lasts an extra  five years and/or an extra 40,000 miles. 

Meanwhile, luxury brands tend to offer as little as four years! The potential for an extra six years of powertrain coverage is one big reason that luxury shoppers love the top trims of such rides as the Passport and Pilot as well as the remarkable Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 9 electric vehicles.

5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Bumper-to-Bumper)

Beyond the powertrain, Hyundai provides a comprehensive "bumper-to-bumper" warranty that covers virtually every component of your new vehicle for five years or 60,000 miles. This includes everything from electrical systems to suspension parts, offering extensive protection against defects in materials or workmanship.

Most brands offer only 3 years and 36,000 miles for this warranty. Hyundai coverage gives you an extra two years of possible coverage (subject to the 60,000-mile cut-off).  That’s a terrific gift for whoever buys a Hyundai in 2025.

7-Year/Unlimited Miles Anti-Perforation Warranty

Rust and corrosion can be a concern, especially in certain climates. Hyundai's anti-perforation warranty offers robust protection against rust holes through the body panel for an impressive seven years, with no mileage limit. This commitment ensures your vehicle maintains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity for the long haul.

5-Year/Unlimited Miles 24-Hour Roadside Assistance

Imagine a flat tire on a deserted road or a dead battery in a busy parking lot. Hyundai's 24-hour roadside assistance program is there to help, providing towing, lockout assistance, jump-starts, and more for five years with unlimited miles. This valuable service adds an extra layer of dependability to your ownership experience, knowing help is just a call away.

There are a few other brands that offer up to five years of roadside assistance, but Hyundai has no mileage limit for this benefit. That’s what makes this part of the best car warranty coverage today.

Hybrid/EV Battery Warranty (10-Year/100,000-Mile for original owner)

For those embracing the future of electric and hybrid vehicles, Hyundai extends its exceptional coverage to their advanced battery systems. This ensures that the heart of your eco-friendly ride is protected for years to come, offering reassurance as you drive into a greener future.

These benefits combine to create a truly unparalleled ownership experience, fostering a sense of confidence and security that is rare in today's automotive market.

If you compare Hyundai to Tesla, you’ll see that Hyundai EVs have five years for the limited warranty versus just four for the Tesla. Plus, while Tesla covers up to 8 years/100,000 miles, Hyundai offers two extra years of coverage. So again, if you want the best car warranties, you should put Hyundais first on your EV test drive list.

Hyundai vs. The Competition: A Clear Advantage

While all manufacturers offer warranties, few come close to matching the sheer breadth and duration of Hyundai's program. Let's take a look at how Hyundai's "America's Best Warranty" stacks up against some popular competitors in 2025:

Warranty Comparison

Note: Warranty terms can vary by model and specific conditions. Always consult the official warranty documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Contact us.

As the chart clearly illustrates, Hyundai consistently offers longer and more comprehensive coverage across multiple key categories. This isn't just about winning a numbers game; it's about providing genuine, tangible value to car owners.

Kia vs Hyundai Warranties

Hyundai, Kia, and luxury automaker Genesis are under the same corporate umbrella. At this point, Genesis and Kia warranties closely align with Hyundais.  However, in 2025, Hyundai offers up to three years of complimentary maintenance with a 36,000-mile limit. 

This Hyundai program for new 2025 models covers basic services like oil changes and tire rotations. Kia generally does not offer maintenance as a standard factory benefit.  Mitsubishi also claims long car warranties, more similar to Hyundai, but it limits standard maintenance to two years.

Note: There are indications that Hyundai may stop offering complimentary maintenance on some or all models with the new model year.  So don’t wait. Shop inventory now!

Top Five Benefits of the Best Car Warranties in 2025

The benefits of America's Best Warranty extend far beyond simply covering potential repairs. They contribute to a holistic ownership experience. Here are the five top benefits:

Knowing that your significant investment is protected for an extended period allows you to enjoy your vehicle without constantly worrying about unforeseen expenses. This peace of mind is invaluable, letting you focus on the joy of driving.

By minimizing the risk of out-of-pocket repair expenses, Hyundai's warranty helps keep your long-term ownership costs down, making it a truly economical choice.

In addition to generous warranty coverage, Hyundai Shopper Assurance is aimed at a better experience. Plus Hyundai Owner Assurance goes above and beyond warranty coverage to focus on more aspects of your ownership experience.

Reliability & Dependability

The confidence Hyundai places in its vehicles through such a robust warranty is a testament to their inherent reliability and dependability. They stand behind their products, knowing they're built to last.

Enhanced Resale Value

A transferable warranty (for parts of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and Anti-Perforation Warranty) can significantly boost your vehicle's resale value. Future buyers will appreciate the remaining coverage, making your Hyundai a more attractive prospect in the used car market.
