What does the Kia powertrain warranty cover?

I’m thinking about getting a Kia Soul with my partner, but my last SUV had issues with the engine that weren’t covered under warranty. I don’t want that to happen again, so what is covered under the Kia powertrain warranty?

Engine trouble can be a very expensive problem to fix—it’s definitely a shame this wasn’t covered in your last SUV’s warranty! You’re in the clear if you opt for that Kia Soul, though. The Kia powertrain warranty covers any manufacturer damage or defect for 10 years or up to 100,000 miles (whichever comes first).
This includes damages to your:
  • Transmission
  • Axles and transaxles
  • Engine
  • Driveshaft
  • Propeller shafts
  • Differential gears
Your Kia powertrain warranty comes included with your standard Kia warranty, along with a basic warranty, anti-perforation warranty, and roadside assistance plan. Your powertrain warranty is actually the longest-lasting warranty in this bundle (basic and roadside last five years or 60,000 miles, while anti-perforation lasts five years or 100,000 miles). In fact, it’s one of the longest-lasting powertrain warranties on the market—so your Soul will be well-protected.
Researching warranties for potential new SUVs is a great way to ensure you’re covered against manufacturer defects in the years to come. Another way to save yourself money on future repairs is to protect your Kia with quality car insurance—with the
