The seven-year warranty is in addition to the current drive-away offers on most models in the range including the Hyundai i30 hatch and Elantra sedan, plus the Kona, Tucson and Santa Fe SUVs. The iLoad van gets seven-year warranty but the mechanically identical iMax people mover does not.

According to the dealer bulletin the Veloster sports car and Venue city SUV are not included, however a Hyundai Australia representative has since contacted CarAdvice to confirm these two vehicles are part of the extended warranty offer.

As reported earlier, however, Ioniq models and the electric version of the Kona not included in the seven-year warranty campaign.

The seven-year warranty is not applicable to any corporate, government or rental sales … or used cars that are not (demonstrators).

if a customer orders a new Hyundai between now and 31 December 2019 – but the vehicle is not delivered until 2020 – the seven-year warranty offer does not apply.

    Thanks I was just about to go out and sign up on a BMW M760i today but this has definitely changed my mind.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/10/2019 - 10:26

      Not a Bentley?

      Well, you can go for a Ferrari, including service plan in there pricing. Not sure why no deal has been posted on it yet.

      They are pretty much the same factory. 33% owner of Kia.

      • ilikeit on 12/10/2019 - 14:56

        Very, very similar vehicles. Excluding the overall shape, the dash boards, other interior features and motors are same/similar. When my wife needed seat covers for her Kia Sportage I found no specific fitted ones to my liking. Luckily they're identical to the Tuscon ones.

        • chiuy on 12/10/2019 - 15:07

          Even shapes can be similar.
          I get mixed up when i park my Optima GT next to a Sonata of the same colour.

          • krisspy on 12/10/2019 - 20:30

            @chiuy: Optima is a much much nicer looking car inside a out out. The new 2020 sonata interior is on a new level though.

            @chiuy: How often would you park next to a Sonata (let alone one the same colour)? They're rare as hens teeth… 1000 odd sales a year and many of those go to QLD police.

      Kia has had their 7 year warranty for a while. It's more likely they lifted their warranty because of the downturn in the passenger market (let's exclude commercials). Also, some of the other players have moved from a year warranty to 5 years.

      • guidedlight on 12/10/2019 - 14:34

        Correct. The only manufacturer that has growing sales in the passenger market right now is Mazda… they are killing it by actually selling good cars.

      I’ve gone over the numbers a few times and notated leases never seem to make much sense unless you drive >25k km per year.

      • arkosh on 12/10/2019 - 14:34

        Can you explain why? I'm currently looking into a novated lease for a family car which is unlikely to be driven more than 25k per year.

          1. Pricing not always the best
          2. FBT on the vehicle
          3. Financing - never a great idea for everyday joe blow
          4. Middle person taking a cut

          It doesn't make much sense.

          • BewareOfThe Dog on 13/10/2019 - 00:45

            @[Deactivated]: Lucky i do @ 27k

            • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2019 - 01:09

              @BewareOfThe Dog: Try doing the maths and see if it works out.

              In multiple hypothetical scenarios that I've tried, none that would have made sense (financially cheaper) to take out a novated lease. Those were calculated on 45% tax bracket.

              Logically speaking… if the "middle person cut" can sustain a business (pure motive is to make $ - including listed novated lease provider ASX:MMS)… the end user is unlikely getting the best deal.

        • stinkydog on 13/10/2019 - 18:33

          Quotes and pricing varies by novated lease provider.
          We inquired for novated leasing and while not exactly transparent about the costs there were two major contributing factors with SG Fleet.
          They add packages to the car e.g. tinting and seat protection. These packages increase the 'value' of the car they lease to you, even if it is a second hand one you've sourced yourself. The work completed may cost $500, but increases the value of the car by over double that amount.
          On top of this, the finance rate worked out around 18%.
          In our instance we would have lost about $500 over a three year period. If both of these practices weren't excessive, we'd benefit by approx. 7k over a three year period assuming 6.5% interest rate and 4% mortgage rate. The novated lease company would still make a margin on interest, fees, commissions for insurance, and commission on fuel etc.
          Interest is also charged on expenses such as fuel, insurance, tyres, tax, and servicing. In an ideal world you'd pay for many of these expenses on your credit card and benefit with points and zero interest, but some novated lease companies refuse to let you cover these costs yourself and factor them in with the original quote for financing.

      It excludes govt, fleet and rental buyers. No effect on novated leases. You buy privately from the dealer and novated lease financier pays at settlement - no problem.

      I do 1 or 2 year novated leases as the depreciation allowance makes novated leasing attractive even if you do low kilometres. Just be aware of hidden charges and upsell they will try to do on things like scratch protection etc.

  • PiperDan on 12/10/2019 - 11:19

    Even at 5 years I'd still pick a Hyundai over a Kia. They offer lifetime capped servicing, prepaid servicing and up to 10 years of map updates and roadside assistance. Servicing costs across the first 7 service intervals for an i30 ($1995) is significantly cheaper than a Cerato ($2869)

    • Worf on 12/10/2019 - 11:34

      Oh wow!
      The business model seems similar to shaving razors and old inkjet printers, where the unit purchase price is competitive, but they get you on the ongoing costs!

      The Kia servicing cost over the 7 intervals is >10% of the car… but then again, the difference between the Hyundai and Kia servicing cost is not as large.

      • sickllama on 12/10/2019 - 22:42

        I paid $16.5k for my Kia Rio. Servicing from memory is $2.1k over the 7 years. So I could look at it like I paid $18.6k for a car and 7 years servicing. I don't know if there is another car on the market of its size and quality that competes.

    I am pretty sure this 'Deal' will just become their standard warranty period from next year.. Hyundai's 5 year warranty used to be one of their points of difference.. but now most of the industry has moved there they need will need to go to 7 permanently..

      I bought my previous car new and kept it 11 years until it had its first major repair and wasn't economical to do. I hope to keep my current car from new for a decade as well (4 years so far, all good).

      Buying new and flipping a car every few years is burning money, but keeping them a long time can be fine.

    • Make it so on 13/10/2019 - 01:55

      Not so sure. A used car with unknown history can be very expensive. Not to mention the hassle of someone else's problems that they didn't tell you about. Factor in the cost of time (time to check out a whole lot of used cars, getting expert opinions, taking used cars for repairs), and you might not be ahead buying used. All depends of course on your luck with buying a used car.

    My i30 has had a whiny clutch since about 8,000km when warm - happens when clutch about to engage. Each time I took it in for a service, they said they couldn't reproduce it. I'd tell them "please try it now while the engine is still warm". When I picked it up they'd say "we couldn't reproduce it". I'd ask "Did you try when the engine was warm?" "No.".
    This went on till the 5 year warranty finished.

    So yeah, warranty is only as useful as the place servicing it.

      Next time try arguing a rubber hose that connects to the coolant.

      Once a dealer told me that it is consumable and not covered under warranty despite it's only the 30th month, with 27kkm on the car (fair call if it's a few more years on the car)… abit of a joke some times…

  • OzBestDeal on 13/10/2019 - 09:19

    What's the catch on the deal?
    Kia 7-years warranty allows you to service on 3rd party mechanics, as long as it follows scheduled service.

    Not sure if Hyundai allows that kind of service.
    I found their capped price service is still more expensive than my local mechanic

    • beneuto on 13/10/2019 - 15:32

      For a true Warranty against manufacturing faults, they cannot dictate where you get your car serviced as long as the service is done as per the log book. However extended warranties can be sold as an insurance policy in which case it is acceptable to make it dependent on service at a particular dealer.
