A long drivetrain warranty can take much of the worry out of owning a car past the loan term. Several mainstream brands offer 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain coverage, though the fine print differs between them. Here are twelve popular models that carry this protection, along with the one limit worth noting.

1. Kia Telluride: Three-Row Coverage
Kia’s Kia powertrain warranty runs for 10 years or 100,000 miles from the date of first service, whichever comes first. That term sits at the brand level, so it applies to the Telluride along with the rest of the Kia lineup.
For a family buying a large three-row crossover, the long powertrain term covers the costliest mechanical parts well past a typical loan. The clock starts at first service, and the mileage cap can end coverage sooner for high-mileage drivers.
2. Kia Sorento: Same Kia Term
The Sorento carries the same 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain coverage that Kia publishes for its whole range, as laid out on the automaker’s warranty page.
Because the warranty is stated for the brand rather than a single model, no separate Sorento paperwork spells out a different term. Buyers comparing midsize SUVs can treat the long powertrain promise as standard here, while confirming the exact terms for a specific vehicle with a dealer before signing.
3. Kia Sportage: Parts Covered
Kia’s powertrain coverage list covers the engine, transmission, axles, differentials and propeller shafts for 10 years or 100,000 miles. The Sportage falls under that brand-wide term.
The list matters because powertrain coverage is narrower than a full bumper-to-bumper plan. Electronics, trim and wear items sit outside it. Owners of a compact crossover like this one get long protection on the major drivetrain hardware, which is where repair bills tend to run highest.
4. Genesis GV70: Luxury With Long Cover
Genesis lists powertrain coverage of 10 years or 100,000 miles for original owners of the GV70, alongside 5 years or 60,000 miles of basic coverage.
The pairing gives a luxury compact SUV a long drivetrain promise on top of a shorter general warranty for everything else. The original-owner wording is the catch: a second buyer should check how the coverage changes on a used example before assuming the full term carries over to them.
5. Genesis GV80: Basic And Powertrain
For the GV80, Genesis basic coverage runs 5 years or 60,000 miles alongside the 10-year powertrain term, according to the brand’s ownership warranty page.
The two clocks work together. Most repairs in the first five years fall under basic coverage, and after that only the powertrain components remain protected. Shoppers weighing a larger luxury SUV should read the two terms separately, since the shorter basic window ends well before the drivetrain promise does.
6. Genesis G70: Sport Sedan Cover
Genesis backs the G70 with 10-year powertrain warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles for original owners, the same term applied to its SUVs.
For a sport sedan, the engine and transmission protection runs for a decade, which is a long stretch of coverage. The limit to note is that the offer is tied to the original owner, so coverage is a consideration when buying one used rather than new.
7. Mitsubishi Outlander: Booklet Terms
The model-specific warranty booklet sets Outlander warranty booklet of 10 years or 100,000 miles on listed powertrain components for the original owner of a Mitsubishi Outlander.
Because the term applies only to the components named in the booklet, buyers should read the list rather than assume everything mechanical is included. The original-owner condition also matters. For a compact family SUV, the long drivetrain protection is a notable point in a crowded segment.
8. Ram 1500: Model-Year Limit
Under a Stellantis release, Ram offers 10-year powertrain warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles to the original owner of 2026 model-year trucks and vans, with fleet and battery-electric vehicles excluded.
This is the one entry on the list with an expiry on the offer itself. The coverage applies to the 2026 model year only, so a buyer choosing any other model year should not count on it. Fleet buyers and electric versions are also left out.
9. Hyundai Tucson: Hyundai Pairing
Hyundai pairs 5 years and 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage with a 10-year powertrain warranty of 10 years and 100,000 miles, according to a CarGurus warranty table.
The table lists the terms at the brand level, since Hyundai’s own warranty pages could not be read for this roundup. For Tucson shoppers, the practical takeaway is a short window for general repairs followed by a much longer one for the drivetrain.
10. Hyundai Santa Fe: Same Hyundai Term
The Santa Fe sits under the same Hyundai 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain term, as listed in a CarGurus brand comparison.
As with the rest of the lineup, the figure comes from a brand-level summary rather than a model-specific document. Buyers considering a midsize SUV from the brand should confirm the details against Hyundai’s own paperwork, though the headline term matches the Hyundai figures listed for the rest of the brand. Shorter basic coverage of 5 years and 60,000 miles runs alongside it.
11. Hyundai Palisade: Lineup-Wide Promise
Hyundai’s 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain coverage applies across the lineup, which includes the Palisade, based on a published warranty ranking compiled in July 2025.
That makes the largest Hyundai SUV part of the same promise as the compact models. Families looking at a three-row vehicle get a long drivetrain term, while the shorter 5-year, 60,000-mile basic coverage still ends first. The source is a secondary table, so the dealer paperwork is the final word.
12. Hyundai Elantra: Compact Sedan Coverage
The Elantra gets 5 years or 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage plus powertrain protection of 10 years or 100,000 miles, per CarGurus.
For the compact sedan, the long drivetrain protection arrives on one of the lower-priced models on the list. Budget-minded buyers keep the same powertrain term as owners of larger Hyundai vehicles, though basic coverage is the shorter of the two and ends first. The table is a secondary source, so checking Hyundai’s own terms before purchase is sensible.
