10 years / 250,000k just announced by MG in Australia - including electric vehicles (and thus batteries)… Not bad considering the anti-EV crowd are always declaring battery packs to have a 3 year lifespan!

MG has introduced the longest factory warranty ever offered by a new-car maker in Australia – 10 years or 250,000km, whichever comes first – five years after rolling out seven years of coverage across its line-up.

And unlike Mitsubishi – which in October 2020 became the first brand to market a 10-year warranty, but with only a 200,000km distance limit – there is no mention of a requirement for customers to have their car serviced within the MG dealer network to access the full decade of coverage.

While MG’s new 10-year warranty is longer in time – compared to its previous seven-year offer – it now has a distance cap of 250,000km, rather than unlimited.

In effect from today (1 August 2024) for all newly-registered petrol, hybrid and electric MG models, the new warranty applies to vehicles not deemed to be “commercial use” – such as Ubers, taxis, food delivery couriers and driving schools.

    I’d be worried about the battery of the hybrid cars.

    Just an assumption: Plug-in hybrid car, 50 km range, 50% electric driving. After 250.000 km, the battery will be used for 2500 cycles.
