10 new vehicles sold with the longest factory warranties in 2026

Most new-car warranties still top out around five years of bumper-to-bumper coverage, leaving engines and transmissions exposed once that clock runs out. A handful of brands, led by the Hyundai Motor Group, instead back their vehicles with a decade of powertrain protection meant to outlast a typical loan term. These 10 vehicles carry some of the longest factory warranties sold in the U.S. today.

1. Hyundai Tucson: Backed by a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty

Hyundai backs the Tucson with a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty for the original owner, roughly double the coverage most mainstream brands offer on their engines and transmissions. That extended protection has become one of the brand’s signature selling points against rivals from Toyota, Honda, and Ford.

The bumper-to-bumper coverage runs a more typical five years, but the powertrain promise alone gives buyers extra peace of mind well past the point most loans are paid off. Full warranty terms and trim pricing are listed on Car and Driver’s Tucson page.

2. Kia Telluride: Carries Kia's long 10-year powertrain coverage

Kia matches its sister brand Hyundai with a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on the Telluride, a three-row SUV that competes directly against pricier rivals from Honda and Toyota. That coverage transfers only in limited form to subsequent owners, so the strongest protection applies to whoever buys the SUV new.

Kia pairs that with a five-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, giving the Telluride some of the longest overall coverage in the three-row SUV segment. Full details are on Car and Driver’s Telluride page, which breaks down trims and included coverage.

3. Genesis GV80: Luxury SUV with a 10-year powertrain warranty

Genesis extends the same 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty found on Hyundai and Kia models to its luxury GV80 SUV, an unusual move in a segment where German rivals typically offer far shorter coverage. That warranty helps offset some of the depreciation concerns that have historically worried luxury SUV buyers.

Genesis also throws in complimentary scheduled maintenance for a limited period, adding to the ownership value proposition. Complete warranty and trim information is on Car and Driver’s GV80 page, covering how the coverage compares with rival luxury SUVs.

4. Mitsubishi Outlander: Backed by a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty

Mitsubishi backs the Outlander with a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, matching the longest coverage offered by any mainstream automaker in the segment. The brand has long used extended warranties as a way to compete against better-known rivals with a smaller dealer network and less brand recognition in the United States.

That warranty requires the original owner to have the vehicle serviced at a Mitsubishi dealer to remain fully valid. Complete terms and trim pricing appear on Car and Driver’s Outlander page, which lists every warranty category the SUV carries.

5. Hyundai Santa Fe: Long powertrain coverage on a roomy family SUV

The Santa Fe carries the same 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty found across the Hyundai lineup, giving family SUV buyers extended protection on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components most likely to cause expensive repairs later in ownership. That coverage is a major reason the Santa Fe frequently shows up on long-term value comparisons.

Fuel economy and full specification figures for the current model appear on its official fueleconomy.gov listing. Combined with a roomy three-row layout, the warranty makes the Santa Fe a common recommendation for growing families.

6. Kia Sportage: Kia's decade-long powertrain warranty covers this crossover

Kia’s decade-long, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the Sportage compact crossover just as it does the rest of the brand’s lineup, giving budget-conscious buyers extended assurance against major mechanical failures. That coverage has helped the Sportage compete against segment leaders with stronger reputations for long-term reliability.

The Sportage also comes in hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants that carry the same extended coverage. Pricing and trim-level warranty details are on Car and Driver’s Sportage page, which lists every powertrain option available on the crossover.

7. Genesis G80: Executive sedan with class-leading warranty coverage

The G80 executive sedan carries the same 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty found across the Genesis lineup, a rarity among luxury sedans where German and Japanese rivals typically max out around four years of coverage. That gap has become a genuine selling point for buyers weighing long-term ownership costs.

Genesis also includes complimentary maintenance and valet pickup service for repairs during the warranty period on many models. Full coverage terms and trim pricing details are listed on Car and Driver’s G80 page.

8. Hyundai Palisade: Three-row SUV carrying the 10-year powertrain promise

The three-row Palisade carries Hyundai’s standard 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, giving large family SUV buyers the same extended protection found across the rest of the brand’s lineup. That coverage matters for a vehicle often kept for many years and driven well past typical trade-in mileage by growing families.

A five-year, 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty rounds out the package alongside the extended powertrain protection, matching what Hyundai offers on smaller models in its lineup. Trim pricing and full warranty terms are listed on Car and Driver’s Palisade page.

9. Kia Sorento: Mid-size SUV with long powertrain protection

The midsize Sorento carries Kia’s 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, giving three-row SUV shoppers extended coverage on the engine and transmission well beyond what most competing brands provide. That protection has made the Sorento a frequent pick among buyers comparing long-term cost of ownership across the segment.

The Sorento is also offered in hybrid and plug-in hybrid form, both covered by the same extended warranty terms that apply to its gasoline engines. Pricing and full specifications are listed on Car and Driver’s Sorento page, which breaks down trim-by-trim coverage.

10. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: Plug-in hybrid backed by the same long warranty

The plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander carries the same 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty as the standard gas model, extending that long-term protection to a more complex drivetrain that combines a gasoline engine with electric motors and a battery pack. That reassurance matters to buyers who might otherwise worry about hybrid-specific repair costs.

A separate battery warranty typically covers the high-voltage components for a comparable stretch of time. Background on the model generation and its drivetrain options is available on its Wikipedia page.
