What Does Chery Ant's Lifetime Warranty Cover?

2019 Ant's three-electric lifetime warranty service refers to the first non-operating owner, who can enjoy the lifetime warranty service for the three-electric system—power battery (cell), drive motor (including motor controller), and vehicle controller, allowing users to truly buy with confidence, drive with peace of mind, and maintain with ease. The introduction and conditions of the lifetime free warranty are as follows: Introduction to Lifetime Free Warranty: Lifetime free warranty means that if the vehicle has quality issues within the manufacturer's specified warranty period, it can be repaired or replaced for free. The lifetime warranty has many conditions, and the components covered by the lifetime warranty have a certain scope. Conditions for Lifetime Free Warranty: Maintenance must be performed at a 4S shop for life. This seems easy to understand. To protect the rights and interests of the manufacturer and dealers, almost all brands have such limitations on the warranty period. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the lifetime warranty, you must always perform maintenance at the manufacturer's designated 4S shop. If you go to another place for maintenance once during this period, the lifetime warranty policy will automatically become void.

When I first bought the car, I also researched the lifetime warranty of the Little Ant, which mainly covers three core components: the battery, motor, and electronic control system. As the owner, if any of these three major parts have issues, the manufacturer provides lifetime repair and replacement. However, it's important to note that this applies only to the first owner, and all maintenance must be done at authorized 4S shops. Wear-and-tear parts aren't covered, like tires and wipers, which you have to replace at your own expense. My car is almost three years old now, and I specifically asked about it during the last maintenance visit. The after-sales service said that if the battery health drops below 70%, I can apply for a replacement, which is quite reassuring.

Having worked in car repair for ten years, I often encounter Ant owners inquiring about warranty issues. The core point is the lifetime warranty for the three-electric system, which includes the battery pack, electronic control, and motor. However, there are two pitfalls to note: modifications to the wiring are not covered, and damages from accidents or water immersion are not covered. Once, while helping an owner diagnose a motor noise issue, I discovered they had installed ambient lighting outside, cutting the original wiring, leading the manufacturer to outright deny the warranty. I advise Ant owners to keep maintenance records and avoid altering the electrical circuits at small, unauthorized shops.

When conducting EV evaluations, the Little Ant is frequently disassembled, with its lifetime warranty focusing on key components. The battery can be replaced if its capacity degrades below 70%, and the motor is repaired for free if there are abnormal noises or overheating issues. However, mechanical parts like suspension components only have a three-year warranty. The most easily overlooked aspect is the infotainment system—issues like freezing or black screens must be addressed within three years. During a recent test, an owner’s air conditioning compressor failed, which was fortunately covered under the lifetime warranty and replaced for free.
