For many years, Lexus cars have topped the charts when it comes to reliability. In the first few years of car ownership, it’s unlikely that you’ll run into any issues. Despite this, it’s good to know that you’re protected no matter what happens. When you buy your new vehicle at the Lexus dealer, you can expect to receive a generous car warranty that covers you for many years.
Every Lexus sold at the dealership comes with the manufacturer’s generous warranty. There are several components, including the basic warranty, the powertrain warranty, and other warranties related to hybrid cars and replacement parts. Because every vehicle contains slightly different components, you should double check your manual or speak to your dealer to find out more about your specific Lexus’s warranty.
Basic Warranty
The basic Lexus warranty protects your car for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. During this time, you won’t have to pay for any issues that occur due to a problem with your Lexus parts or the workmanship. Some of the parts that are included are the steering, your gear boxes, the air conditioning and cooling units, the electrics, and your brake parts.
While you can expect to be covered if you use your car normally, you should keep in mind that your warranty might be void if you install aftermarket parts in the car, tamper with the odometer so that the true mileage can’t be determined, use the wrong fluids, or overload your car. You also won’t be covered if you lose your vehicle due to a fire, flood, or other natural disaster, so you might want to get insurance for these risks.
Powertrain Warranty
The powertrain warranty is even more extensive, and it covers your car for six years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, the components included are more limited. You can expect to be reimbursed if you have to get your engine, your transmission and transaxle, your rear-wheel drive system, or your front-wheel drive system fixed prematurely. Just like with the basic warranty, you’re only covered if you don’t tamper with or neglect your car.
Other Warranties
Depending on the Lexus you get, you might be able to benefit from several other types of warranties. For hybrid vehicles, there is a special 8-year or 100,000-mile warranty that covers several parts related to the battery. The battery itself is protected for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. When you come to the dealership and get replacement components for your car, you will also benefit from a parts warranty, which generally lasts for 12 months.
The new Lexus you buy comes with an extensive warranty that covers a wide range of potential issues. This is true for both gas and hybrid cars. To find out more about the vehicles currently available and the warranties they come with, you should reach out to your local dealer.
