Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Kia factory warranty
New Kia vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Kia dealer.
The long powertrain term applies to the original owner. If you bought your Kia used, the powertrain coverage that transfers to you is generally shorter.
What to know about covering a Kia
Kia's 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the original owner. Second owners generally get powertrain coverage only to 5 years or 60,000 miles from the original sale date, so used-Kia buyers often have less coverage than they expect.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy an extended warranty for a used Kia?
Usually, yes. Eligibility depends on the vehicle's age and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Used vehicles normally have a waiting period before claims can be made.
Can I take my Kia to any repair shop?
Most plans let you use any licensed repair facility in the US, including a Kia dealer. The shop gets authorization from the plan administrator before starting work.
What does Kia extended coverage cost?
It depends on the model, year, mileage, coverage level and where you live. Request a quote with your vehicle details for an actual price.
