Shop New Inventory >The foundation of Hyundai's protection program is the Comprehensive Limited Warranty, which covers any original component found to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use and maintenance for 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first.
This warranty applies to virtually every part of your Hyundai supplied by the manufacturer, with only a few specific exclusions. If a component fails due to a manufacturing defect during this period, an authorized Hyundai dealer will repair or replace it at no charge for parts or labour.
What's Covered:
Coverage Period:
The Warranty Registration Date is the date your vehicle is first delivered to you or placed into service, whichever occurs first. This transferable coverage stays with the vehicle if you sell it within the warranty period, adding to its resale value.
Hyundai extends the same 5-year / 100,000 km coverage to powertrain components—the critical systems that keep your vehicle moving. This includes the engine, transmission, and all internal parts, providing long-term protection for the most expensive components of your vehicle.
Powertrain Components Covered:
For Ontario drivers who rack up kilometres commuting between Woodstock, London, and the GTA, this extended powertrain protection offers reassurance that your vehicle's core mechanical systems are covered for the long haul.
Hyundai recognizes that hybrid and plug-in hybrid buyers need extra confidence in their battery systems. That's why the brand offers an 8-year / 160,000 km warranty specifically for hybrid battery components—significantly longer than the standard comprehensive coverage.
Hybrid System Components Covered:
PHEV-Specific Components:
This extended battery coverage addresses one of the most common concerns among hybrid vehicle shoppers: long-term battery reliability and replacement costs. With this warranty in place, you can drive confidently knowing that the most expensive component of your hybrid system is protected well into the future.
Hyundai's 24-Hour Roadside Assistance program is not technically a warranty, but rather a service provided alongside warranty coverage. It offers practical support when you need it most, covering common roadside emergencies at no additional cost.
Services Included:
Coverage Period:
This program is especially valuable for Ontario drivers who travel frequently or venture into rural areas with limited immediate assistance. From Highway 401 during a winter storm to a parking lot in downtown Toronto, Hyundai's roadside assistance ensures help is just a phone call away.
Beyond the core warranty protections, Hyundai's 2026 warranty includes several specialized coverage areas:
Adjustments (1 year / 20,000 km):
Service adjustments such as wheel alignment, wheel balancing, and minor repairs not usually associated with parts replacement are covered for the first year or 20,000 km.
Air Conditioner Refrigerant (1 year / 20,000 km):
Air conditioner refrigerant charge is covered for the first year or 20,000 km. After that, refrigerant charge is covered only when replenished as part of a warranty repair.
Paint (3 years / 60,000 km):
Paint defects due to material or workmanship issues are covered for 3 years or 60,000 km.
Audio System (3 years / 60,000 km):
Audio system components are covered for 3 years or 60,000 km.
Battery (2 years / 40,000 km):
The 12-volt battery is covered for 2 years or 40,000 km.
Anti-Perforation (5 years / unlimited km):
Rust-through perforation of body panels is covered for 5 years with no distance limit, protecting against corrosion-related structural issues.
Hyundai provides comprehensive emission system coverage to ensure your vehicle meets federal emission standards throughout the warranty period.
Basic Emission Components:
Major Emission Components:
This dual-tier emission warranty structure ensures that your Hyundai remains compliant with Canadian environmental regulations while protecting you from costly emission-related repairs.
Understanding exclusions is just as important as knowing what's covered. Hyundai's warranty does not cover:
These exclusions are standard across the automotive industry and emphasize the importance of proper maintenance and care.
To maintain warranty coverage, you must:
Proper maintenance is not optional—it's a requirement to keep your warranty valid. Fortunately, Hyundai dealers make it easy to stay on schedule with service reminders and convenient appointment booking.
Accessories installed by your Hyundai dealer are covered for 3 years or 60,000 km from the Warranty Registration Date. If installation occurs after the Warranty Registration Date, coverage is 12 months from installation or the balance of the 36-month / 60,000 km period, whichever is greater.
Accessories purchased over the counter but not installed by the dealer are covered for 12 months with unlimited distance.
Hyundai's warranty is fully transferable to subsequent owners, which adds significant value when it comes time to sell or trade your vehicle. A remaining warranty is a strong selling point, offering the next owner the same protection you enjoyed.
To transfer warranty coverage, simply notify your Hyundai dealer or contact Hyundai Auto Canada to update ownership records.
Ontario's diverse climate and driving conditions—from harsh winter salt exposure to summer heat—put extra stress on vehicle components. Hyundai's comprehensive warranty protection is designed to handle these challenges, covering defects that may arise from normal use in Canadian conditions.
For drivers in Woodstock and surrounding areas with seasonal temperature swings and road salt as part of daily life, having strong warranty coverage means you're protected against unexpected repair costs during the most critical years of ownership.
Hyundai's 2026 warranty program offers some of the strongest protection available in the mainstream automotive market, combining extensive coverage periods with comprehensive component protection. From the 5-year / 100,000 km Comprehensive Limited Warranty to the 8-year / 160,000 km hybrid battery coverage, Hyundai stands behind its vehicles with confidence.
