When buying a new car, you need a great warranty. This is to give you peace of mind that you can avoid a serious financial situation should your car suddenly break down. Warranties are not easy to compare because car manufacturers offer their warranties with different distance and time restrictions. 1
So what should you do?
Make sure your after-sales agreement suits your monthly mileage. Depending on how much you travel, choose a plan that has the best year or distance guarantee. 1
Warranties in the crossover segment under R400,000
This article covers a particular crossover segment in South Africa. The Nissan Magnite has a 6-year/150,000-km warranty or 2,083 km per month. If your monthly mileage is less than that, the Magnite provides the longest warranty among any cheap crossovers in South Africa. 1
When you drive 3,000 km or more per month
In such a case, choosing a 5-year/200,000-km warranty is more suitable. Nevertheless, the Kia Sonet’s 5-year/unlimited-km warranty may be even more advantageous. 1
Engine warranties
The Hyundai and Chery Tiggo have engine warranties apart from their 5-year/150,000-km warranties. Hyundai also offers a 7-year/200,000-km engine guarantee, but Chery provides an amazing a 10-year/1-million-km assurance. 1
