Picanto News: Kia To Offer 7 Year Warranty

Sadly not on the Picanto!!

Well at least not for now, but great news never-the-less, as this could be the start of seeing Kia's current warranty programme, which is excellent by the way, extended beyond their current 3 yr unlimited deal.

As Kia unleash their new models at the Paris Motor Show, we speculate that Kia will probably go the same route as it's parent company Hyundai, and offer a 5 yr unlimited mileage warranty on the Picanto and the rest of the range.

The decision comes on the back of a new launch model known as the Kia Cee'd, a product of the new European plant in Zilina, Slovakia and sends a clear message to it's rivals that they mean business.

Every Kia cee´d marketed by Kia Motors Europe will benefit from a 7-year / 150,000 kilometre new car warranty, comprising five years cover on the entire car and an additional two years cover for the powertrain. The warranty will be free and transferable to subsequent owners, provided the vehicle is regularly maintained in accordance with the servicing schedule.
