What does the Kia limited powertrain warranty cover?

I’m curious about Kia’s limited powertrain warranty—it seems to be really awesome. But what does it cover?

The Kia limited powertrain warranty is one of the longest warranties available on the car market—and it’s standard with all Kias purchased after 2008! The Kia limited powertrain warranty covers the components in your engine and drivetrain—i.e. powertrain—for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s such a long warranty that it’s also referred to as a lifetime warranty—but it does technically have time and mileage limits.
So what exactly would this sort of warranty cover? It covers components in your engine that see damage or become defective under normal use of your car—things like your propeller shafts, transmission, axle, driveshaft, and engine.
Just remember that limited warranties generally don’t cover damage or defects that are due to improper use or maintenance of your car. If your engine fails because you forget to change the oil, that’s on you!
