Understanding the Genesis Warranty: 5-Year/60,000-Mile and 10-Year/100,000-Mile Coverage

When you’re investing in a luxury vehicle, confidence in what happens after you drive off the lot can be just as important as the vehicle itself. Genesis provides new-vehicle owners with comprehensive warranty protection designed to provide additional peace of mind throughout ownership.

Every new Genesis comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, while original owners of new Genesis vehicles also receive a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.

Together, these warranties provide important protection for your Genesis, from many of its major components to the engine and transmission.

5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty

The Genesis New Vehicle Limited Warranty provides comprehensive coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.

This is often referred to as Genesis’ bumper-to-bumper warranty because it provides broad coverage for components that may experience defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and maintenance.

For a new Genesis owner, this means important components of the vehicle are covered during the first five years or 60,000 miles of ownership.

The warranty is subject to specific exclusions, limitations and coverage terms, so owners should review their warranty documentation for complete details.

10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty

One of the most notable benefits of owning a new Genesis is its 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty for original owners.

The powertrain is responsible for generating and delivering the power that moves your vehicle. Genesis’ powertrain warranty covers eligible components such as selected engine and transmission/transaxle components when a covered defect in materials or factory workmanship occurs under normal use and maintenance.

For original owners, coverage extends for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

That long-term coverage can be an important consideration when comparing Genesis with other luxury vehicles.

What Does the Powertrain Warranty Cover?

The powertrain warranty is focused on key mechanical components responsible for producing and transmitting power.

Depending on the specific vehicle and applicable warranty terms, covered components can include selected:

• Engine components
• Transmission components
• Transaxle components
• Drivetrain components

The exact components covered are defined by the Genesis warranty documentation, along with applicable exclusions and limitations.

It’s important to remember that a powertrain warranty is different from the comprehensive New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The two warranties provide different types of coverage.

Why the Difference Between the Two Warranties Matters

It’s easy to see “10 years/100,000 miles” and assume that every component of a Genesis is covered for that long.

That’s not the case.

The 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty provides broad coverage for the vehicle.

The 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty provides longer coverage specifically for eligible powertrain components for the original owner.

Think of it this way:

Coverage is subject to the applicable warranty terms, conditions and exclusions.

An Important Detail for Future Owners

If you’re purchasing a new Genesis, the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage is particularly important because it applies to the original owner.

Genesis states that the 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners. A subsequent owner receives powertrain component coverage under the 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, subject to the applicable terms.

This is an important distinction to understand when evaluating a new Genesis versus a pre-owned vehicle.

It also makes the warranty especially relevant to someone who plans to keep their Genesis for many years.

What About Genesis Electric Vehicles?

Genesis also provides warranty protection for its electric vehicles.

For Genesis EVs, the EV Battery Warranty provides coverage for the high-voltage battery and EV-specific propulsion and power-control components for 10 years or 100,000 miles, subject to the applicable warranty terms.

That gives Genesis EV owners another important layer of long-term protection.

Warranty Coverage Is Only Part of the Genesis Ownership Experience

Genesis’ warranty protection is one part of a broader ownership program.

New Genesis owners also receive Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Genesis describes this as including factory-recommended scheduled maintenance, with services varying by vehicle and powertrain.

Genesis also provides roadside assistance benefits for new vehicles, helping provide additional support when unexpected situations arise.

For Genesis owners, the combination of warranty coverage, complimentary maintenance and available service support is designed to make ownership as convenient and confident as possible.

Why Genesis Warranty Coverage Matters

A luxury vehicle is a significant investment, and unexpected repairs can add to the cost of ownership. Genesis’ warranty program is designed to help protect owners against covered defects while providing longer-term powertrain protection for original owners.

The key numbers to remember are simple:

5 years/60,000 miles: New Vehicle Limited Warranty

10 years/100,000 miles: Powertrain Limited Warranty for original owners of new Genesis vehicles

10 years/100,000 miles: EV Battery Warranty for covered Genesis electric vehicles

These warranties are subject to specific terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations, so prospective owners should review the applicable Genesis warranty documentation for complete details.
