12 vehicles that still include free scheduled maintenance, but Volvo has already cut its plan to 2 years

Free scheduled maintenance is still on offer from several brands, and the terms vary widely between brands, from two years of servicing to five. Volvo’s recent cut shows that the benefit can shrink between model years. Here are twelve vehicles whose makers still include factory-paid service, along with how long each plan lasts.

1. Acura RDX: Two Years of Servicing

The Acura Maintenance Program covers factory-scheduled maintenance on the RDX for 2 years or 24,000 miles, according to the brand’s RDX fact sheet. The term applies to the program’s covered services rather than every repair.

The fact sheet is for the 2024 model year, and the program applies to select eligible Acura vehicles. A buyer would be wise to confirm eligibility for the exact trim and model year at the dealership before assuming the visits are paid for.

2. Acura MDX: Same Acura Program

The MDX carries the same Acura Maintenance Program term of 2 years or 24,000 miles, as laid out in the MDX fact sheet. Whichever limit arrives first ends the coverage, so a high-mileage owner could exhaust the plan before the two years are up.

The mileage cap can matter as much as the calendar for a driver who covers long distances. Because the document describes the 2024 model year, shoppers considering other years should check that the same terms were in force.

3. Acura Integra: Included Servicing on a Small Sedan

Acura lists the same 2 years or 24,000 miles of maintenance coverage for the Integra in its Integra fact sheet. The document covers the 2023 model year, and the coverage is described as part of the Acura Maintenance Program.

The Integra carries the same bundled servicing as the larger Acura models in this list. The brand describes the program as available on select eligible vehicles, so the specific trim and model year should be verified before purchase.

4. Volvo XC90: Volvo Trims the Plan

Volvo’s US plan now runs 2 years or 20,000 miles on MY2026-2027 gas models, down from 3 years or 30,000 miles, as shown on the company’s factory-scheduled maintenance page. The XC90 is a gas model that falls under the shorter term.

The cut is the reason Volvo sits in this list with an asterisk. Earlier gas models from MY2022 through 2025.5 kept the three-year term, so the model year on the window sticker determines how much servicing a buyer actually gets. The page covers brand terms rather than naming each model.

5. Volvo XC60: One Service a Year

The same Volvo US schedule applies to the XC60, with one service a year for the first 2 years, up to 20,000 miles on MY2026-27 gas models, per the Volvo maintenance schedule.

Compared with the three-year, 30,000-mile arrangement offered on MY2022-2025.5 gas cars, the new term is a clear step down. Shoppers comparing a used XC60 with a new one should weigh that difference. The terms come from a brand-level statement, not a page that names the XC60 specifically.

6. Jaguar F-Pace: The Longest Coverage Here

Jaguar’s EliteCare program covers scheduled maintenance for 5 years or 60,000 miles, the longest term in this list, according to the Jaguar EliteCare table. The F-Pace is named in that table.

Roughly double the two-year terms at Acura and Volvo, the Jaguar plan is the strongest argument for choosing a luxury crossover on servicing costs alone. Owners should still note the mileage ceiling, since heavy drivers could reach 60,000 miles well before the five years are up.

7. Jaguar I-Pace: Servicing and a Long Battery Warranty

The electric I-Pace gets the same 5 years or 60,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, as set out in Jaguar’s EliteCare terms. Its battery warranty runs 8 years or 100,000 miles, per the same page.

The battery term is longer than the servicing term, so the two protections run on different clocks. Owners tracking both should note that the 60,000-mile cap on maintenance arrives well before the 100,000-mile battery limit, which is the longer of the two.

8. Genesis GV70: Thirty-Six Months Complimentary

Every new Genesis includes 36 months of complimentary scheduled maintenance, a policy described on the brand’s warranty page, which lists the GV70 in its lineup.

Three years of covered servicing puts the GV70 ahead of the two-year plans from Acura and Volvo, although it trails the Jaguar term. The offer is framed by months rather than miles on that page, so buyers should read the full program terms for any mileage limit.

9. Genesis G70: Same Genesis Program

The G70 shares the Genesis program of 36 months of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which the brand outlines in its ownership warranty overview. The sports sedan is part of the lineup named there.

Because the benefit comes with the brand rather than a single model, the G70 gets the same coverage as the GV70 above. Shoppers comparing the first three years of ownership costs may find the included servicing a useful point in its favor.

10. Toyota Camry: Two Years of ToyotaCare

ToyotaCare runs two years or 25,000 miles, according to a Cars.com guide to free maintenance, and the Camry is covered by that brand-level plan.

That is a modest term next to Jaguar or Genesis, but it applies to a mainstream sedan. The figure is a brand-level statement from a July 2024 article, not a model-specific page, so buyers should confirm that the plan still applies to the model year they intend to buy.

11. BMW 3 Series: Three Years Included

BMW’s included maintenance runs three years or 36,000 miles, as summarized in the same Cars.com maintenance roundup. The 3 Series falls under that brand-wide program.

The 36,000-mile cap is well above the 24,000 miles allowed by the Acura plan. For an owner who drives an average amount, the allowance should cover several routine visits. The article states the terms at brand level rather than naming this specific sedan, so the details deserve a check with a dealer.

12. Mini Hardtop: Dealer-Performed Service

Mini offers dealer-performed maintenance for up to three years or 36,000 miles, a figure reported in the J.D. Power free-maintenance guide. The Hardtop is covered by that brand-level plan.

As with BMW, the work must be done at a dealership, which limits where the free visits can happen. The three-year term should cover routine service for a driver who stays under the mileage cap. The source describes the benefit by brand, not by individual model.
