Honda Lifts Warranty To Five Years, Unlimited Kilometres

Honda Australia has announced its intention to attract younger buyers to the brand, and the carmaker believes a more attractive warranty plan is the first step.

From this month, new Honda cars in Australia will now be covered by a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty - up from the previous three-years/100,000km.

Honda Australia director, Stephen Collins, said he believed the brand has earned a reputation for reliability and quality, but he admits younger potential customers who have never owned a Honda may need the extra security provided by the longer warranty.

The launch of the Civic, Civic Type R and CR-V represents a crucial time for the brand and its aspiration to hit 48,000 sales in 2017.

"Honda has an envied reputation for quality and reliability, the depth of engineering inherent in our vehicles is something our customers can trust, so we're taking things a big step further with this five-year warranty announcement," Collins said.

"In the competitive Australia market, customers expect brands to be innovative and Honda Australia is aiming to do this right across the business. Through our network of 107 dealers, we're continually focused on improving how we interact with our customers."
