Does the Kia Warranty cover a second owner?
I have a 2020 Kia Sportage that I want to trade in for a smaller vehicle, as I’ve switched jobs and no longer need an SUV. If I sell privately, will the warranty transfer to a new owner?

Having an outstanding warranty on a privately sold vehicle is a huge bonus for buyers. Luckily, the Kia warranty does cover a second owner and will remain valid after the vehicle is sold.
However, the 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty will be reduced to a 5-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty after you sell the vehicle, and the remainder will be transferred to the vehicle’s new owner.
The remainder of the following warranties will also be transferred:
- 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty
- 5-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty
- 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan
Kia offers some of the industry’s best warranty coverage, and this protection increases the vehicle’s resale value and provides the new owner with peace of mind.
If you’re selling your Kia, consider telling its new owners about finding
