Toyota announces five-year warranty

Market leader Toyota has finally bowed to public pressure and will boost warranty coverage from three years to five on every new model sold from January 1, 2019. The warranty will extend to seven years on the engine and drivetrain on “properly maintained vehicles” that are equipped with genuine Toyota parts. Private buyers will get a five year/unlimited kilometre warranty while commercial and business fleets will get a five year/160,000km warranty.
