Is the motor of the Mercedes-Benz C260 covered by a lifetime warranty?

The motor of the Mercedes-Benz C260 is not covered by a lifetime warranty. Its warranty period is calculated together with the vehicle's overall warranty, which is three years. Taking the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2021 C260 Star Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4704mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1454mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2840mm. The Mercedes-Benz C260 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184PS, a maximum power of 135kW, and a maximum torque of 280Nm. Both its front and rear suspension types are multi-link independent suspensions, and the drive mode is rear-wheel drive.
I recently researched Mercedes-Benz models. For the C260 hybrid version, the electric motor usually doesn't come with a lifetime warranty. The standard warranty for new Mercedes vehicles is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, but hybrid components like the battery and motor may have an additional 8-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty, depending on the specific model year and regional policies. The dealer should mention this when purchasing; if the maintenance manual doesn't specify lifetime coverage, don't expect it to be covered forever. I recommend checking the "Maintenance & Warranty" section on the official website or calling Mercedes customer service to confirm model details, to avoid costly repairs later. Additionally, the motor's lifespan is related to usage habits—avoid aggressive driving to extend it, which is more practical than a lifetime warranty.
