Kia offers one of the longest new car warranties on the market: 7 years or 150,000 km across the entire model range, from EV3 to EV9. Here we cover what's included, what applies to the battery, and what's required to keep the warranty valid.
What's included
Kia's new car warranty is valid for 7 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first, and applies to the original owner of the vehicle. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship across virtually the entire car – engine, gearbox, electronics and body components.
The warranty applies equally across Kia's entire model range in Sweden, whether it's a pure electric vehicle like the EV5 or EV9, a plug-in hybrid like the Niro Plug-in Hybrid, or a self-charging hybrid like the Niro Hybrid.
EV battery
High-voltage batteries in Kia's electric vehicles (EV), hybrids (HEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) are covered by the same 7-year period. The battery is engineered for long-term durability and Kia guarantees that it retains a certain percentage of its original capacity during the warranty period – contact your Kia dealer for the exact terms for your specific model and battery size.
Conditions
For the new car warranty to remain fully valid, the vehicle needs to be serviced according to Kia's service schedule at an authorised Kia workshop. It is a common misconception that all servicing must take place at the selling dealer specifically – in practice the warranty is valid at any authorised Kia workshop in Sweden, as long as servicing follows the manufacturer's intervals and is documented in the service history.
