New Delhi: Kia India seems to have taken the phrase “peace of mind” rather literally. In a bold move that expands its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) empire, the automaker has announced new and enhanced warranty plans—not only for pre-loved Kia cars but also for vehicles of other brands sold through its growing CPO network. Because when Kia says “movement that inspires,” it apparently includes inspiring confidence in everyone else’s cars too.
Under the refreshed program, the certification age for pre-owned Kia vehicles has been extended from 5 years to 7 years, now with warranty coverage of up to 24 months or 40,000 km, whichever arrives first (which, knowing Indian roads, might be the kilometres). And for the first time ever, other-brand vehicles sold through Kia’s CPO network can enjoy a 12-month or 15,000 km warranty, giving non-Kia owners a taste of the brand’s premium after-sales assurance.
Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Kia India, commented with a confident grin,
“Kia India continues to prioritize customer-centric innovation. With the enhanced Kia CPO warranty and the new warranty program for other brands, we’re making certified vehicles more accessible and trustworthy. Our mission is simple – everyone deserves the Kia-level peace of mind, no matter what badge is on the bonnet.”
Each pre-owned car sold under the Kia Certified Pre-Owned banner undergoes a 175-point inspection, where every nut, bolt, and button is scrutinized as if it’s applying for a visa to the Kia family. Only those meeting Kia’s strict quality standards make it to the sales floor, ensuring transparency, reliability, and zero “what-did-I-just-buy” moments for customers.
Kia’s CPO program is now one of the fastest-growing in India, with 114 outlets nationwide, and counting. With these new initiatives, the company isn’t just chasing sales—it’s reshaping India’s pre-owned car ecosystem into something far more organized, transparent, and warranty-laden than ever before.
In short, Kia India’s latest move ensures that when you buy a used car—Kia or otherwise—you get more than just four wheels and a story. You get a fresh warranty, a heap of reassurance, and a big helping of corporate confidence.
Because in Kia’s world, every car deserves a second chance… preferably with a warranty that lasts longer than most new year resolutions.
