Chery expands UK warranty to seven years and 100,000 miles

Chery has upgraded its UK vehicle warranty as it marks its first year in the market, extending cover on key components and applying the changes retroactively to every UK vehicle sold so far. The move comes as the brand expands its retailer network, pushes its plug-in hybrid range and offers 0% finance on selected models through August 2026.

Why it matters: - Chery is using a broader warranty to strengthen buyer confidence and lower long-term ownership costs in the UK. - The change applies to both private and business customers. - The upgrade also reinforces Chery’s push to build a stronger reputation after less than a year in the market.

What happened: - Chery enhanced its UK vehicle warranty after feedback from customers, retailers and aftersales partners. - The updated cover is effective immediately on all new models. - The same terms apply retrospectively to every vehicle sold in the UK to date. - Customers do not need to take any action to receive the improved cover.

The details: - Key components now covered for seven years or 100,000 miles include the air conditioning compressor, alternator, brake calipers, catalytic converter, infotainment unit, exhaust system, fuel injectors, fuel pump, oil pump, shock absorbers, starter motor, track rod ends, water pump, wheel bearings and electric window regulators. - Those parts were previously covered for three years or 40,000 miles. - Warranty cover for bushes and rubber components now runs for seven years or 60,000 miles, up from three years or 40,000 miles. - Warranty cover for ball joints now runs for seven years or 60,000 miles, up from three years or 40,000 miles. - Chery says the expanded cover is designed to improve peace of mind and reduce ownership costs. - Farrel Hsu, managing director of Chery UK, said the brand’s focus remains on making safe, advanced and efficient vehicles more accessible while improving the ownership experience.

Between the lines: - The warranty move comes as Chery tries to convert early UK momentum into longer-term trust. - Chery said it has built a foundation in the UK with its TIGGO SUV range and retailer network. - The company has been leaning on aftersales support and ownership terms as part of its market-entry strategy. - Chery also wants to signal that its growth plan is not just about sales volume, but about retention and service.

What's next: - Chery expects the warranty enhancement to support continued UK expansion. - The brand has opened more than 85 retailers and aims to reach 120 by autumn. - Chery is also supporting adoption of its Chery Super Hybrid plug-in hybrid system with 0% finance on the TIGGO 7, TIGGO 8 and TIGGO 9 CSH models throughout August 2026. - The UK line-up currently includes the TIGGO 4, TIGGO 7, TIGGO 8 and TIGGO 9, all offered with CSH powertrains. - For full details on the finance offer, customers can visit their local Chery retailer or the Chery Vehicle Offers website.

The bottom line: - Chery is making warranty cover a core part of its UK pitch as it tries to deepen trust, support sales and sustain its rapid market build-out.
