BYD's lifetime warranty for first owners means that the first batch of buyers of specified models enjoy conveniences in terms of warranty or other aspects. Below are the relevant details about BYD's lifetime warranty for first owners: 1. During vehicle maintenance, it is necessary to replace engine oil and other fluids, as well as the oil filter and air filter, along with some consumable rubber parts and slowly wearing components. Additionally, the vehicle needs to be inspected; 2. If the usual driving environment is good and the vehicle is used gently, maintenance can be appropriately delayed; 3. If the usual driving environment is harsh, the vehicle is used aggressively, or driving is rough, it may be advisable to consider performing maintenance ahead of schedule.
When I bought my BYD car, I specifically asked the salesperson what this lifetime warranty meant. In short, as the first owner, if there are issues with the vehicle's core components such as the battery and motor, the manufacturer provides free repairs or replacements until the car is scrapped. This policy mainly covers key parts of the powertrain and excludes consumables like tires and brake pads. A few years after purchase, when the battery showed some degradation, I took it back to the dealership, and they handled it for free, which was very reassuring. However, it's important to note that regular maintenance must be done at BYD-authorized service centers; otherwise, the policy might become void. The warranty doesn't transfer to the new owner if the car is sold, making it especially cost-effective for long-term owners. Don't forget to confirm the contract details when buying a new car.
