Well it's finally happened, Toyota, the market leader, has extended their warranties to catch up. There were systems in place to do warranty repairs till 5yrs (internally, unadvertised), but now it's finally official, yay!

When it comes to buying a new car, we believe that nothing should stand between you and the thrill of the drive. Which is why we've made sure every[T5] new model bought after 1 January 2019 is protected by a minimum five-year unlimited kilometre warranty that covers any part, panel and accessory made by Toyota.

Stick to your annual service schedule, and we’ll extend your engine and driveline warranty from five to seven years, so you can drive stress-free for longer. Conditions apply.

A decade of Hybrid battery cover
We’ll increase the standard guarantee on your new Hybrid battery to up to 10 years as long as you undertake your annual inspection as part of routine maintenance according to the vehicle logbook. Conditions apply.

60-day money-back guarantee
For any failure that prevents your Toyota from being driveable, and for any failure that’s had multiple unsuccessful repair attempts, we’ll refund whatever you’ve paid in full. Conditions apply.

    You know I love you, Spack, but I would say Kia is the market leader in automotive warranties. 7 years, unlimited kms. If Toyota announced this then it could be mistaken as a bargain.

    In this case I believe this is merely a PSA for the forums.

    BTW why would TA, our market leader, upvote this deal. He should know better.

    Toyota "get you" by making you over-service your car within 6 months regardless of km's travelled (or this warranty is void).
    Mazda requires a service every 12 months.

      • wattstar on 04/01/2019 - 14:16

        2018 Kluger picking up today, service due every 6 months. Camry purchased 2 years ago requires service every 9 months however dealer had been putting 6 months on reminder sticker and sending reminder emails at 6 months until I complained and showed them the log book.

          As I said, new gen models. Current shape Kluger was released in 2014. A Camry purchased 2 years ago was a 50 series, first released late 2011.

      • daewoo on 04/01/2019 - 14:18

        I've owned since new a 2016 Toyota with 6 month / 10,000km service intervals.

        • Employeespackbace @ Toyota Australia on 04/01/2019 - 14:28

          He did state 'new gen'. Kluger not new gen, and your Camry was the old Aussie made model.

          CHR/Camry/Corolla - whole new models, 12m servicing.

      • neonlight on 08/01/2019 - 08:51

        Had a RAV4 2015 had to service every 6 months to keep the three year warranty and I drive no more than 3000 km each time. Although was service cap but not impressed

    • Employeespackbace @ Toyota Australia on 04/01/2019 - 13:13

      As above, Toyota has gone to 12m/15,000km intervals for CHR/Camry/Corolla

      Mazda is at 12m/10,000km intervals

      Always nice advertising 12m intervals, when you don't look at the kms ;)

            @Gorian4: This + more.
            Engine oil has come a long way and their durability and performance are getting better day by day.

            Vehicle components and other consumables improving their quality and durability as well.

            However, vehicles that are used strenuously might need more frequent services.

    • spaceflight on 04/01/2019 - 13:14

      The warranty does not set out the service intervals. All it says is.

      You must operate, maintain and care for your Toyota properly, in accordance with the instructions in your vehicle’s Owner’s
      Manual and Warranty and Service book

    • lostn on 04/01/2019 - 13:19

      Newer cars are 12 months.

      6 months actually gets you newer oil than you would get in the back half of a 12 month service.

    It's disappointing that the 'market leader' took so long. Toyota is a follower, not a leader anymore. If it wasn't for what the Koreans were doing, Toyota would still be resting on their laurels…

    A -ve as this is not really a bargain more a PSA. Perhaps more suited for the forums?

    • fchis on 04/01/2019 - 13:08
      +2

      Obviously because If Hyundai was the market leader, Toyota would have started this earlier. I don't think Toyota is the one to blame because most likely their cars are more reliable than Hyundai and this offer is just a PR campaign.

      • Murpha on 04/01/2019 - 13:18
        +1

        Hyundai and Toyota are probably on par in terms of reliability and have been for a number of years. Hyundai has stated they no longer use Japanese brands as development benchmarks and now look to the Europeans for refinement. Having said that, if Toyota's reliability is so great, why did they not stand behind their vehicles and wear the badge proudly by providing such a warranty earlier?

        Besides, my -ve vote is not due to brand preference or bias; I just feel that this is not a bargain or deal, but a PSA. This is now a standard offer from Toyota going forward.

        • fchis on 04/01/2019 - 13:23

          Not sure where the reliability part you're getting it from but my mechanics say it otherwise. Anyways, all good. Everyone possesses his/her own opinion.

      It's not the Koreans. The Koreans have been doing 5 yr / 7 yr since forever, and Toyota didn't budge. Neither did the rest of Japan. What caused them to switch was when the Euros started moving to 5 yr. If the Euros were still on 3 yr, so would all the Japanese.

      • KMeister on 04/01/2019 - 18:48

        In fact, this is not the case either. ACCC is investigating Holden till 2020 for their practices and asked them to get their practices in line with ACL. Ford got penalized 10 Millian Dollars for their practices and was asked to honour transmission failures under warranty.
        In a nutshell, it's ACL getting enforced by government agencies and the manufacturers are getting spooked by that.

        There was a delay since the mother company where it resides does not have an ACL equivalent and Toyota Motor Corporation Australia is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation Japan.

        It is a bit sad that it took 8 years to get this far as ACL was there since 2011, it wasn't effectively enforced until lately.

        • lostn on 04/01/2019 - 20:05

          So does ACL consider the expected lifetime of a 20k+ car to be only 5 years?

          • KMeister on 04/01/2019 - 20:24

            @lostn: Nope, what is "reasonable" is interpreted on a case by case basis, but 5 years is a guideline. Even after 5 years, ACL can be enforced to protect consumer interests where applicable. That is why your warranty service booklet says ACL rights may exceed the factory warranty entitlements.

            ACL does not predict the lifetime of a product, it simply gives you a guarantee and a peace of mind to enjoy a product that is fit for purpose and without manufacturing defects, and when that is not the case, ACL kicks in to protect consumer rights.

            • lostn on 04/01/2019 - 23:23

              @KMeister: Sounds very vague. Would be a headache for the ACL people to have to have to evaluate every claim case by case.

                Would be a headache for the ACL people to have to have to evaluate every claim case by case.

                The ACCC doesn't deal with individual cases.

              • KMeister on 05/01/2019 - 10:12

                @lostn: Yes, you're right, it is vague. ACL is the umbrella law covering all warranties on any product that you buy in Australia, not just cars.
                ACL is the law by its own definition, and it can be enforced by many agencies. ACCC investigates companies and their practices in whole, legal institutions enforce them (Courts, Fair Trading, VCAT, NCAT, QCAT etc..).

      From the terms and conditions

      Your Toyota Warranty Advantage period begins on the day your new vehicle is registered by your Toyota Dealer and you take delivery of the vehicle.

      I don't know what that means because they could both happen on different days

      • Employeespackbace @ Toyota Australia on 04/01/2019 - 13:18

        They'll be within the same month though :)

        • spaceflight on 04/01/2019 - 13:28

          The conditions don't mention anything about the month though.

          I assume the conditions mean

          Your Toyota Warranty Advantage period begins on either the day your new vehicle is registered by your Toyota Dealer or you take delivery of the vehicle, whichever occurs last.

          But the way they are currently written if your vehicle is registered on a different day to when you collect it the warranty does not apply because the warranty applies from "the day" that both of those things occur.

            +1

            @spaceflight: I was just referring to the internal systems. When a vehicle is put into a customer's name with Toyota is the day it's registered, generally speaking, which has to happen in the same month as delivery.

            The warranty will start on delivery date. The only clarification needed is for those who bought last year, but aren't taking delivery till this year. For those people, they'll get the new warranty as they're not taking delivery till after the new system came in.

            Everything else is just arguing semantics. 5yr warranty if you take delivery after Jan 1st 2019. Simples

  • CalmLemons on 04/01/2019 - 13:03

    The issue with this is you normally have to get it serviced at Toyota interval which is 6 months or every 5-10k km I believe?

    Becomes quite a hassle with corporate cars.

    Saying Toyota is a “market leader” is like saying McDonalds is the market leader in takeaway coffee? Quantity doesn’t mean jack.

    Apart from sales, what technologies are they currently a leader in?

    Since this 5 year warranty is standard and accessible to everyone, it is neither a bargain or a deal and just a public announcement which belongs in the forums.

    While not absolutely comparable to other vehicle manufacturers, their comparable competition, who is often cross-shopped with Toyota, offers superior warranties and has done for a while.

      Hybrid?

      I can't see any mainstream top 10 manufacturers that are going full fledged with hybrid compared to them.

      They are still behind the 8 ball in many areas but I give it to them on hybrid. To have hybrid as a topic around drinks is the first for me 2 months back.

      • ilikeit on 04/01/2019 - 13:52

        They are definitely pioneers in Australia with hybrid techonology, I will give them that. But several other manufacturers have also embraced this tech, although admittedly they are more expensive.

        I think from a sheer volume level (referring to hybrid and electric), Toyota is the winner. But are they still the 'market leader?'

    Why is everyone hating on Toyota? We've got a Camry 13 and love it. I'm sure other manufacturers make great cars too but that doesn't mean Toyota sucks.

    Toyota’s mechanically reliability may be because they are dangerously underpowered.
