Does BYD still have warranty after 30,000 kilometers in one year?

BYD does not have warranty after 30,000 kilometers in one year. Here is the relevant introduction about the warranty period: Definition: The car warranty period refers to the time period during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality problems when selling the product to consumers. Most car manufacturers now implement a new vehicle warranty period, "two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first." This means there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of 2 years, and the other is a mileage limit of 60,000 kilometers. As long as either of these two conditions is met, it indicates that the vehicle's warranty period has expired, and normal maintenance and repairs are no longer free. Warranty Conditions: Recently, the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products" was passed and implemented by the State Council executive meeting, which means that this departmental regulation involving vehicle recalls and the rights and interests of millions of car owners nationwide has finally been elevated to an administrative regulation. The introduction of this "Recall Regulation" is considered by many experts to be a policy prelude to the long-delayed "Three Guarantees for Automobiles." Recently, relevant personnel from the General Administration of Quality Supervision revealed that the "Three Guarantees" policy for automobiles will be introduced soon and is expected to be officially implemented after the 18th National Congress.
As a long-time BYD owner who frequently drives long distances, what does 30,000 kilometers a year mean? BYD's vehicle warranty typically covers three years or around 60,000 kilometers, with some new models like new energy vehicles offering battery warranties of up to eight years or 150,000 kilometers. In your case, you should still be within the warranty period since your annual mileage hasn't exceeded the overall limit. However, it depends on specific components, as smaller parts might have shorter coverage. I recommend checking your user manual or contacting your local 4S store to confirm, so you don't face disputes when issues arise. I've seen diligent drivers get free battery replacements—the key is maintaining complete service records and following regulations, making driving worry-free.
As a car enthusiast, I researched warranty policies and found that BYD's warranties are usually based on whichever comes first between time and mileage, with the whole vehicle covering about three years or 100,000 kilometers. Thirty thousand kilometers a year? Not exceeding the limit, so the warranty is still valid. However, certain components like tires or lighting systems may only be covered for one year or 20,000 kilometers, after which they expire. High-mileage usage leads to faster wear on parts, and manufacturers might question misuse and deny coverage. It's best to check the manual or have a technician use diagnostic tools to check warranty records, avoiding out-of-pocket expenses when repairs are needed. I often drive long distances too, so I make sure to adhere to maintenance schedules to stay within warranty coverage.
