3 Answers
Chery's 10-year/1-million-kilometer warranty covers engine warranty. Chery is equipped with a comprehensively upgraded ACTECO 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. Taking the 2020 Chery Tiggo 3 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4420mm, width 1760mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase of 2510mm, fuel tank capacity of 55L, and curb weight of 1358kg. The 2020 Chery Tiggo 3 is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 143Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As a Chery owner for nearly five years, I can say the 10-year/1-million-kilometer warranty is absolutely worth it. It mainly covers core components like the engine and transmission, meaning if they fail, the manufacturer will repair or replace them for free. The condition is that you must perform regular maintenance at authorized 4S shops, such as changing the oil and inspecting the vehicle every six months or 5,000 kilometers—otherwise the warranty becomes void. Since I often drive long distances, this has saved me a lot on repairs; it also boosts resale value, so the car will fetch a higher price even after ten years. A friend once had engine issues and got it fully covered under warranty without spending a dime. I’d advise new buyers to carefully review the contract to avoid missing critical details. Note: This warranty applies to non-commercial use—taxis may not be covered.
From a car repair perspective, Chery's extended warranty on the engine and transmission is the most reliable. Those components are prone to wear and tear, such as piston or gear system failures, and a 10-year or million-kilometer warranty means free repairs. But maintenance is key: you must follow the manual, checking the oil filter and air filter every three months, otherwise the manufacturer won't honor it. I've handled cases where engine failures weren't covered due to missed maintenance. The warranty also covers the driveshaft, which is especially cost-effective for frequent highway drivers, saving thousands in repair costs. When buying, ask about coverage details, like whether all parts are included, to avoid missing out on benefits.
