What the New Vehicle and Powertrain Warranties Cover
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
For 5 years or 60,000 miles, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers repairs for factory defects across most of the vehicle. Emissions components are covered for the same 5 years or 60,000 miles, and select major emissions parts are covered for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles.
Powertrain Limited Warranty
The Powertrain Limited Warranty is the headline: 10 years or 100,000 miles for original owners of new Genesis vehicles. Electric Genesis models such as the GV60 get the same 10 years or 100,000 miles on the high-voltage battery and EV-specific propulsion and power control components.
What happens if you sell
The 10-year powertrain term is for the original owner. If a Genesis is sold to a new private owner, powertrain coverage falls under the 5-year or 60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The exception is a Genesis Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, which keeps the remainder of the original 10-year powertrain coverage.
More Than a Warranty: Maintenance, Service Valet and Roadside
Genesis backs the warranty with ownership benefits that save you time:
- Complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
- Service Valet, a 3-year complimentary program that includes vehicle pickup and drop-off, remote diagnostics and a courtesy vehicle when available.
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance for 5 years, including towing, jump starts, flat tire help, lockout service and fuel delivery.
- Genesis Connected Services, complimentary with no expiration for first owners of recent models, including Remote Start with Climate Control and Stolen Vehicle Recovery.
For busy owners in Huntsville and Madison, Genesis Service Valet is often the benefit they use most, since we pick up your vehicle for scheduled service and return it when the work is done.

How the Genesis Warranty Compares
Many luxury brands, including Lexus, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, offer 4 years or 50,000 miles of basic coverage. Genesis adds a year and 10,000 miles to that. Lexus offers 6 years or 70,000 miles of powertrain coverage, so the Genesis powertrain warranty runs 4 years and 30,000 miles longer.
To be fair to the competition, some brands lead in specific areas. Lexus, for example, covers the hybrid battery on recent models for 10 years or 150,000 miles. The Genesis advantage is how much comes bundled with every new vehicle: long warranty terms plus complimentary maintenance, Service Valet and Connected Services. When you compare luxury vehicles, look at the full package of coverage, maintenance and service benefits, not a single number.
Genesis Certified Pre-Owned Coverage
Shopping pre-owned? A Genesis Certified Pre-Owned vehicle includes a 6-year or 75,000-mile limited warranty from the original in-service date, plus the remainder of the 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain coverage from the original purchase date. To qualify, a vehicle must be five model years old or newer, have fewer than 60,000 miles and a clean CARFAX report, and pass a 191-point inspection for gas models or 99 points for EVs.
Certified buyers also get 10 years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance with unlimited miles, rental car reimbursement, trip interruption coverage and 3 years of Genesis Connected Services. Browse our pre-owned inventory to see which vehicles are available, including drivers coming from Athens and Decatur.
Tips to Get the Most From Your Coverage
- Keep up with scheduled maintenance. Your first 3 years or 36,000 miles of scheduled maintenance are complimentary, so there is no reason to skip a visit.
- Keep your service records. A complete history makes warranty claims simple and adds value when you sell or trade.
- Use Service Valet. Pickup and drop-off makes it easy to stay on schedule during a busy week.
- Save the roadside number. 24/7 Roadside Assistance is included for 5 years, so keep the number in your phone before your next road trip.
- Buying pre-owned? Ask whether the vehicle is Genesis Certified, since certification is how a second owner keeps the remaining 10-year powertrain coverage.
