What is the warranty coverage for BYD?
2 Answers
His warranty coverage is categorized into four types. Type 1 covers the power battery assembly, with an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty. Type 2 includes electric system components, also with an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, covering the power motor, drive motor controller, and DC assembly. Type 3 covers parts that experience wear but are not easily damaged, with a 3-year or 60,000-kilometer warranty, such as the multimedia system, shock absorbers, various belts, bushings/pads, and bearings. Two key components in this category are the starter iron battery and the PM2.5 tester assembly. Type 4 includes easily damaged parts, with a 6-month or 10,000-kilometer warranty, such as various filters, bulbs, tires, and spark plugs. The battery cells have a lifetime warranty. Other components not listed in Types 1-4 fall under the vehicle's general warranty coverage.
I just bought a BYD Tang, and the warranty details are really comprehensive! The general vehicle warranty covers 4 years or 100,000 kilometers, while the battery comes with a lifetime warranty, which is a great deal for an electric vehicle. The warranty covers core systems like the battery, motor, and electronic control, as well as functional components like steering and brakes, but excludes wear-and-tear parts like tires. It's important to schedule regular maintenance at the authorized 4S shop, such as every 5,000 kilometers or six months, otherwise the warranty may become void. BYD offering a lifetime warranty shows their strong confidence in quality, saving me a lot on repair costs. When purchasing, the salesperson advised me to check the manual for specific details, as warranties may vary slightly between models like the Seal, but they're all quite impressive. Remember, the warranty is only valid under normal usage conditions—accidents or modifications aren't covered, so drive carefully and avoid unnecessary modifications. This is really practical advice for a newbie like me.
