Kia Certified Pre-Owned
Like its corporate cousin, Hyundai, Kia offers a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty on all its new vehicles. For many buyers, this coverage can tip the scales in Kia’s favor, providing peace of mind and a high-quality vehicle. The Kia Certified Pre-Owned program capitalizes on this property and adds other benefits to attract used car shoppers.
Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are six years old or newer with under 80,000 miles on the odometer. They receive a 165-point quality assurance inspection, which includes a vehicle history report. Any necessary repairs or maintenance issues use Kia-certified technicians and original parts. Once they qualify, Kia Certified vehicles carry a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, computed to start on the original in-service date and zero miles. CPO vehicles come with 1-year/12,000-mile of “Platinum Coverage,” a limited basic warranty. Both warranties are transferrable to future owners upon payment of a $40 fee.
Additional benefits include roadside assistance for 10 years and unlimited miles, with a Cross Country Motor Club Driver’s OneCard Membership providing flat tire, out-of-gas, lockout, and jump-start assistance. Emergency towing coverage offers up to $75 per covered breakdown. Travel breakdown coverage reimburses owners up to $100 per day up to $500 per covered mechanical breakdown, and rental car coverage pays up to $35 per day for up to 10 days.
