Suzuki is set to introduce a 10-year Service Activated Warranty Scheme for UK and Irish customers.
The free warranty package is an upgrade from the seven-year cover introduced in Spring 2023.
The carmaker is also offering a 10-year warranty on the EV battery in the eVitara, its first electric vehicle.
Service Activated Warranty is offered once the vehicle reaches the end of its manufacturer warranty period of three years / 60,000 miles and is booked in for its next scheduled service within the Suzuki Dealer network.
This warranty stays in place until the next qualifying service and is then renewed again up to a maximum vehicle age of 10 years / 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Suzuki said major components are covered, and should a customer decide to sell their vehicle between services and within the 10-year qualifying period, the warranty can be transferred to the next owner – again free of charge.
Additionally, Service Activated Warranty can also be applied to a Suzuki vehicle that has been purchased privately or has a gap in its dealer service history.
Denis Houston, director aftersales, Suzuki GB, said: “At Suzuki, customer experience and retention are paramount, the extension of Service Activated Warranty will certainly enhance this for the future, ensuring our customers get the best levels of service, fitment of genuine parts and avail of the expertise within our dealer network rather than going to a non-franchised repairer once their manufacturer warranty expires.”
