What kind of warranty does Volkswagen have?

Car maintenance is important to me, and I’m looking for vehicles with the best car warranties. Does Volkswagen have a good new car warranty?

Volkswagen
offers a limited warranty for new cars that lasts for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The German automaker reduced the length of its limited warranty in 2021 from 6 years or 72,000 miles.
To compensate for the reduction, Volkswagen added 2 years or 20,000 miles of ‘carefree maintenance’, which includes two free annual service inspections and oil changes.
Other key points of the new four-year limited warranty are:
  • Battery—3 years / 36,000 miles
  • Corrosion perforation—7 years / 100,000 miles
  • Brake pads—1 year / 12,000 miles
  • Halogen and Xenon bulbs—3 years / 36,000 miles
  • Other bulbs—1 year / 12,000 miles
  • Paint—3 years / 36,000 miles
  • Mechanical adjustments—1 year / 12,000 miles
  • Roadside assistance—3 years / 36,000 miles
  • Key fob battery—1 year / 12,000 miles
  • Wiper blades—1 year / 12,000 miles (6 months / 6,000 miles for wear and tear)
  • Wheel and tire balance—Upon initial customer inspection
While the time length of the warranty has been reduced, the scope of coverage is still quite good. Regular maintenance is important to keep your cost of car ownership low, and maintenance covered by a warranty goes a long way to save you money.
