Nissan moves to offer 10-year warranty

NISSAN has announced it’s moving to a 10-year/300,000km warranty on all new vehicles sold from January 1 this year.

The service-activated offer, dubbed Nissan More, extends to both private and commercial customers and includes up to 10 years’ roadside assistance and five years’ flat price servicing when servicing within the Nissan network.

To ensure existing Nissan owners can also benefit, the offer will be applied retrospectively to eligible Nissan vehicles purchased new since January 1, 2021.

Nissan vehicles purchased new since that date which have completed all scheduled services with Nissan (at the correct interval/time) automatically qualify for the warranty extension.

Vehicles that have not been serviced with Nissan are able to return to a Nissan Dealer to have a Scheduled Service and a Vehicle Assessment to determine their eligibility to enter the program.

Nissan says its flat price servicing program can save owners up to $1145 over the five-year period, depending on model.

Juke, Pathfinder, Qashqai, and X-Trail owners will pay $399 per service while Navara, Patrol, and Z owners will pay $499 at each service interval. Leaf owners will pay $349 per service.

“With our new Nissan More ownership program including our new 10-year warranty and Flat Price Servicing, we are delivering on our promise to Australian new car buyers,” said Nissan Oceania director of aftersales Michael Hill.

“In tough times and in a period where the new car market is full of mixed messages, Nissan Australia is putting our customers first.

“The new service-activated warranty is Australia’s only 10-year/300,000km warranty and is industry leading. It’s designed to deliver peace of mind to our customers. Peace of mind that Nissan has your back. Peace of mind that Nissan is with you for the long term.

Nissan joins MG (10-years/250,000km) and Mitsubishi (10-years/200,000km) in offering 10 years’ coverage.

“Our comprehensive Flat Price Servicing program is a direct response to customer feedback. We’ve listened and acted,” added Mr Hill.

“Nissan Genuine Service is the best solution for a customer’s car. When our customers service with a Nissan dealer, they can have the confidence of knowing that they are covered under our Nissan Customer Service Promise.

“Customers can be assured their vehicle will be serviced by factory-trained technicians using only Nissan genuine parts – giving the best care for their car in the long term.

“And this is not just about new cars.

“We’re sure this inclusive industry-leading ownership program will also ensure that your Nissan will be even more attractive when it comes time to buy your next car, as the warranty is fully transferable to the next owner aiding and supporting your future resale value.”
