Toyota Warranty Advantage

Toyota Warranty Advantage is a warranty information programme for eligible new Toyota vehicles delivered in Australia from 1 January 2019. The standard cover provides five years of protection with unlimited kilometres for vehicles used privately, subject to the applicable terms, conditions and exclusions. Coverage applies to Toyota-made parts, panels and accessories where a failure results from a manufacturing defect.

The programme extends beyond a conventional new-vehicle warranty when the required maintenance conditions are met. Following the vehicle’s scheduled servicing requirements can extend protection for the engine and driveline from five years to seven years. This additional period is intended to support continued ownership with coverage linked to maintaining the vehicle according to the Warranty and Service book.

For Toyota hybrid vehicles, the hybrid battery warranty can extend to up to 10 years when the required annual Hybrid Health Checks are completed from the year-five service onwards. These checks use specialist diagnostic equipment to assess the condition of the battery and hybrid systems. When performed as part of routine maintenance with an authorised Toyota service centre, the inspection is included in that service; a separate labour charge may apply when requested independently.

The programme also includes a 60-day money-back guarantee for specified failures. It applies where a failure prevents the vehicle from being driven or where a failure has undergone multiple unsuccessful repair attempts within 60 days of the new vehicle being collected. As with the other elements of the programme, eligibility and the precise operation of the guarantee are governed by the published terms and conditions.

Additional support is available when a vehicle requires a warranty repair and is off the road. Subject to the relevant conditions, assistance can include transporting the vehicle to an authorised Toyota dealer, repair costs and a loan vehicle, as well as expenses associated with car hire or towing. The warranty remains transferable to a subsequent owner for the balance of the applicable period from the original delivery date.

• Five-year unlimited-kilometre standard warranty for eligible privately used vehicles
• Up to seven years of engine and driveline protection when scheduled maintenance requirements are met
• Up to 10 years of hybrid battery cover with the required annual Hybrid Health Checks
• 60-day money-back guarantee for qualifying drivability failures or repeated unsuccessful repairs
• Warranty repair assistance may include transport, repairs and a loan vehicle, subject to conditions
• Warranty coverage can transfer to a subsequent owner for the remaining term

Vehicles delivered before 1 January 2019 remain subject to the earlier three-year or 100,000-kilometre warranty, whichever occurs first. Earlier hybrid vehicles may have separate battery coverage of up to eight years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Commercial-use vehicles also have different kilometre limits, so the vehicle’s Warranty and Service book and the applicable terms should be consulted before relying on any specific entitlement.
