What is Chevy’s drivetrain warranty?

I’m buying a new car soon, and I’m looking for decent warranty coverage. What does Chevy’s drivetrain warranty cover?

Chevrolet’s drivetrain is covered in its powertrain limited warranty. That warranty covers the:
  • engine
  • transfer case
  • drivetrain
  • transmission
Drivetrain warranties cover only the drivetrain, which is made up of the transmission, driveshaft, wheels, and axles. A vehicle’s powertrain includes all that and other components that move the vehicle, such as the engine.
Chevy’s powertrain warranty is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. That’s fairly standard as far as powertrain warranties go, but some manufacturers offer longer powertrain warranties. Here are a few:
  • Hyundai: 10 years/100,000 miles
  • Kia: 10 years/100,000 miles
  • Genesis: 10 years/100,000 miles
  • Mitsubishi: 10 years/100,000 miles
  • Infiniti: 6 years/70,000 miles
The powertrain warranty is typically included as part of your manufacturer’s new car factory warranty, which usually covers additional items like corrosion and roadside assistance.
When your factory warranty runs out, you can purchase an extended car warranty, or it may be time to consider purchasing additional
car insurance
to ensure that you’re protected.
