OMODA & JAECOO Extend Their UK Warranty Cover
There’s more good news for UK drivers considering an OMODA or JAECOO electric vehicle.
Following rapid growth in the UK market, the two Chery-owned brands have announced significant improvements to their warranty programme, extending protection on a wide range of components.
For EV and plug-in hybrid buyers considering models such as the JAECOO E5 and JAECOO 7 SHS, this could make the ownership proposition even more attractive.
In this guide, we discuss what's changed, the existing benefits, and what this means for UK buyers.
What's Changed With the JAECOO and OMODA Warranty?
Previously, a number of vehicle components were only covered for three years or 40,000 miles.
Under the revised warranty, many of these components are now protected for the full seven years or 100,000 miles - whichever comes first.
These components include:
-
Air-conditioning compressor.
-
Brake calipers.
-
Infotainment unit.
-
Shock absorbers.
-
Water pump.
-
Wheel bearings.
-
Window regulators.
-
Fuel pump and fuel injectors.
Bushes, rubber components, and ball joints have also had their cover increased from three years/40,000 miles to seven years/60,000 miles.
This is potentially significant for motorists planning to keep their vehicle for several years, as more components remain covered beyond the typical three-year period.
Existing JAECOO and OMODA Owners Benefit Too
Perhaps the most important part of the announcement is that the enhanced warranty isn't restricted to new customers.
OMODA & JAECOO says the changes apply retrospectively to every vehicle sold in the UK since the brands launched, with existing owners not required to take any action for the revised terms to apply.
That means motorists who already have a JAECOO or OMODA on the driveway can also benefit from the extended protection, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and servicing requirements.
What Does This Mean for JAECOO EV Buyers?
For drivers considering making the switch to an electric or plug-in hybrid JAECOO, the strengthened warranty adds another factor to consider alongside purchase price, range, charging speed and running costs.
Longer component coverage may be particularly appealing to:
-
Drivers planning to keep their car long-term.
-
High mileage motorists.
-
Company car and fleet operators.
-
Buyers considering a newer automotive brand.
-
Used JAECOO and OMODA buyers, as remaining warranty cover is transferable to the next owner under JAECOO's stated terms.
As always, owners should read the complete warranty documentation, as conditions, servicing requirements and exclusions apply.
