We care about your ownership journey, so as you're living the good life around the Atlanta area in your selection from our Kia inventory, your engine, transmission, and other essential powertrain elements are covered until the vehicle is sold or declared a total loss!1
That's right – dozens of components, including critical engine, transmission, transaxle, and drive axle parts, as well as fluids and even hybrid or EV elements, are covered by this warranty – as long as you check in with an official dealership every six months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first.1
How Does the Kia Lifetime Engine Warranty Differ From the Standard?
Our Lifetime Warranty is designed to please long-time Kia owners, but how does it differ from the standard Kia Powertrain Warranty? Both cover similar engine components from natural wear and tear, but there are two main differences:
- Duration: The Kia Powertrain Warranty lasts just 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.2 The Kia Lifetime Warranty you can get at our showroom in Kennesaw, GA, doesn't end until you no longer own the vehicle.1
- Transferability: If you intend to sell the model, the standard Kia warranty lets you do so and hand off the protection to the next beneficiary.2 To learn more, read our Kia Warranty second-owner guide.
