Nissan Australia has joined the likes of Mitsubishi and MG by offering a 10-year
new car warranty, however the warranty extends to 300,000 kilometres, exceeding
the 200,000km and 250,000km offerings of Mitsubishi and MG respectively. The
new Nissan warranty like Mitsubishi’s is conditional on servicing with the brand
and is applicable for all new purchases from January 1 this year. However, in
another industry first, Nissan will also backdate the warranty for all new
purchases from January 1, 2021, on the proviso that all scheduled servicing has
been carried out by its dealer network since that time. Despite its parent in Japan
declaring it is in emergency mode following slow sales and a huge loss last year
that saw it announce 9000 job cuts worldwide and lower production levels Nissan
Australia says it is fully committed to the Australian market. I’m David Berthon
