How much factory warranty is left on your EV9?
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 EV9 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 EV9 used, the powertrain coverage that transfers to you is generally shorter.
Why body style matters
SUVs carry more weight than cars and many have all-wheel drive, which adds a transfer case or coupling, a rear differential and extra axle shafts. Power liftgates, third-row climate control and panoramic roofs add electrical parts that sit outside powertrain coverage.
Electric drivetrain
An electric vehicle has no engine oil, spark plugs or multi-speed transmission. What can fail is the drive unit, the onboard charger, the DC-DC converter, the heat pump and the battery cooling system, plus the same suspension, steering and electronics as any car. Only some plans accept EVs, and battery capacity loss is not covered.
About 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.
