18 car brands with the longest warranties

Honda's Acura premium brand offers a new vehicle warranty that lasts four-years or 50,000 miles. The brand also offers a six-years or 70,000 powertrain warranty.

Like Acura, Toyota's Lexus premium brand also offers a four-years or 50,000-miles new car warranty along with a six-years or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Audi's standard four-years or 50,000-mile new vehicle warranty is also supplemented by a 12-year unlimited mileage rust perforation warranty. The German luxury brand also throws in a free maintenance visit at 12 months or 10,000 miles.

BMW offers new car buyers a four-year or 50,000-mile new vehicle warranty along with a 12-year unlimited mileage rust perforation warranty.

BMW's Mini-brand also offers a four-years or 50,000-mile new car warranty. However, the brand also offers three years or 36,000 miles in free maintenance.

Along with other luxury brands, Porsche also offers a four-years or 50,000-mile warranty along with a 12-years, unlimited mileage corrosion perforation warranty.

Mercedes-Benz offers its customers a four-years or 50,000-mile new vehicle warranty.

Fiat Chrysler's Alfa Romeo premium brand offers a four-years or 50,000-mile limited warranty with free 24/7 towing included.

Customers who purchase or lease a new Land Rover SUVwill have a four-year or 50,000-mile new vehicle warranty along with a 12-year unlimited mileage rust perforation warranty.

Ford's Lincoln luxury brand offers a four-year or 50,000 new vehicle warranty along with a six-year or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Like Lincoln, Cadillac also offers a four-years or 50,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty with a six-year or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Buick offers a four-years or 50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty plus a six-years or 70,000 powertrain warranty. GM's entry-level luxury brand also offers an eight-year or 100,000-warranty on its eAssist mild hybrid system.

Infiniti offers a solid four-year, 60,000-mile comprehensive warranty, but it's their 6-year, 70,000-mile warranty on the powertrain that's even more enticing. Many Infinitis also come with seven-year, 70,000-miles of rust coverage.

Given their past reputation for requiring frequent maintenance, it's comforting that Jaguar now offers one of the best warranties in the luxury car marketplace. They offer both comprehensive and powertrain warranties good for five years and 60,000 miles.

Mitsubishi boasts one of the most impressive suites of warranty offerings in the market with a five-years or 60,000 new vehicle warranty plus a 10-years or 100,000 powertrain warranty, and a seven-year or 100,000-mile corrosion warranty.

Hyundai and its sister brands have become famous for its generous warranty package. It starts with a strong five-year, 60,000-mile comprehensive warranty and an exceptional 10-year, 100,000 powertrain warranty. The powertrain warranty cannot be transferred with the title, however, though the primary warranty does move to the new owner.

Hyundai's sister brand Kia offers a similar warranty package with a vehicle covered for five years and up to 60,000 miles. But it's their 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty that helps sell cars, and cars you know they stand behind, at that.

Hyundai's Genesis luxury brand offers much the same coverage as Hyundai itself, with five years and 60,000 miles covered bumper-to-bumper and 10 years and 100,000 miles offered for the powertrain. But in addition, a Genesis comes with three years and 36,000 miles of free maintenance.

Volkswagen's approach to warranties is a bit different than most carmakers, and it's rather refreshing: they offer six years of both comprehensive and powertrain coverage, and 72,000 miles on each, too. So their bumper-to-bumper coverage is a bit longer than most, and their powertrain coverage shorter, but the two balance out and there's less to keep in your head.
