The mandatory warranty for new cars amounts to two years, offering customers special packages at an added cost to increase this period. A war without quarter to which Mazda has joined in Spain, which significantly extends the official guarantee.
The European Union requires new car manufacturers to issue a two-year warranty, and they are the Europeans who practically adhere strictly to this minimum termalthough some brands offer extensions of the period for one, two and up to three years with an additional cost in which the client does not have to pay anything if something happens. vehicle fault due to a production error, a defective component or damaged paint.
Now, it’s been Mazda which has been added to this strategy of extending the official guarantee, also increasing the maximum mileage. An attempt to make their products more attractive with an extra level of protection, and that makes the Hiroshima brand more Premium. This important improvement, which was implemented in Germany on March 1, 2022, now arrives in Spain, in force since September 1, 2022 in all its new cars.
Mazda Spain reinforces the quality of its models with more guarantee
The Japanese manufacturer has aimed high, with a guarantee of 6 years or a maximum mileage of 150,000 kilometers, what I know before. As usual, it covers all parts and components with manufacturing defects, but don’t wear them, so components such as the clutch are outside this protection. For now, the Spanish division has not communicated whether it will offer warranty extension packages up to a maximum of 10 years.
In Germany, the brand confirmed that, even if one of the models is resold during the validity of this guarantee, the remaining period will be kept in the name of the new owner, which is logical. It includes fast and free assistance in case of breakdown or accident, always caused by a production failure, but the Japanese are also somewhat stricter with the requirements, demanding the scrupulous compliance maintenance intervals, and carried out in official services. In addition, a free courtesy vehicle and car wash delivery will be offered.
Mazda also expands connectivity services, especially with a function of wireless updates in those models that have them. The Japanese brand takes a new leap in connectivity, with which the control units can be updated without having to go to the official service. The remote functions will also enable online diagnosis which transmits faults to the dealer.
