Hyundai launches India’s first ever Optional Extended Warranty scheme


New Delhi, May 26, 2008: Hyundai Motor India, the country’s largest passenger car exporter and the second largest auto manufacturer, are once again setting benchmarks for the industry, as they launch, the first of its kind extended warranty schemes for its privileged customers. The Power Train and Comprehensive Extended warranty schemes are available for all the proud owners of the Hyundai i10, Santro, Getz Prime (petrol), Accent and the Verna for a period of five years

Launched in May, these schemes will ensure that the owners of Hyundai cars can avail of maximum warranty for their cars with minimal cost implications. The schemes have been designed to ensure peace of mind for Hyundai customers ensuring that it suits their requirements and the car gives trouble free performance for its ownership period.

The Comprehensive Extended Warranty scheme is a full protection scheme which covers the entire car right from the mechanical, the electrical to all other parts including the engine and transmission, for a period of five years or 100,000km whichever is earlier. This is the first time ever that a manufacturer is offering a long term warranty for full five years.

Additionally, for all those customers who do not want a full comprehensive warranty covering the entire car there is partial extended warranty (The Power Train Warranty) for the entire power train which will cover the engine and transmission parts at a minimal cost for a similar period of five years or 100,000km which ever occurs earlier.

Speaking on the occasion, Hyundai Motor India, Sr. GM, Customer Care Service, HMIL, B Mani said “It has always been our endeavor to provide innovative products and service to our customers which suit their needs and lifestyle. And this Extended Warranty Scheme is just another example of this. This will give our customers added satisfaction and peace of mind without substantially adding to the cost of ownership. Hyundai products have over time proven to be reliable, safe and they require minimum maintenance and this scheme of offering extended warranty will only add to the levels of customer satisfaction for our customers and emphasizes our commitment to our values and products.”

It is a good thing, but not a great thing. Good thing because now Hyundai has got something to do proving their reliability. Not a great thing because, it is not available in diesel, where it is needed much.

This is really nice news.
With the growing competition, Every car manufacturer is trying to attract the customers as much as they can.
5 years is alot but I doubt that they will surely be having some T&Cs for it.


VT

Every warranty will have T&C, be it 50000 or 500000

They are doing the same with the newly launched KIA Soul in Europe.

yeah what i missed out on is their diesel segment which surely should have been covered, lets see if we see some changes in this announcement.
