The occasions in which private vehicles reach a million kilometers traveled are usually rare, especially due to the durability of their mechanical parts. And when it happens, it’s news, like it happened in 2020 with an American delivery man, who traveled 1,600,000 kilometers with his truck.
Experience indicates that, if an automaker offers a 1,000,000 kilometer warranty, it is very likely that it will be valid practically for the entire useful life of the vehicle, or at least until the other limit of the commitment is met, such as the years of use.
In Indonesia, the Chinese firm Chirey offers an XXL guarantee, since it ends when reaching a million kilometers or after ten years. We are talking about customers being able to travel up to 278 kilometers per day for a decade protected by the brand. Thus, the firm seeks to demonstrate the reliability and durability of its elements.
In some countries, other brands offer similar but not identical warranties. For example, in the United States, Hyundai and KIA offer 10 years, but with a lower mileage limit. For its part, the Mercedes-Benz Trucks division offers, in certain markets, three years with no mileage limit.
automotive warranties
In Mexico, as in other markets, brands offer different types of guarantees, for example KIA with its 100,000 kilometers or seven years, among others. In any case, to venture to offer such a plan is to trust your product a lot, which in turn works as an incentive or purchase factor.
