Toyota has long held a top spot for quality and service and this reputation extends to its newest models. We take a look at the warranty on these vehicles and what it will and won't cover if you should ever need it.
Put some GRRRR into your crossover
2021 saw the introduction of a brand-new model for Toyota. Made locally at the Prospecton plant in Durban, the Corolla Cross soon became the most sought-after vehicle in its category. Hot the heels of this success Toyota expanded the range with a Hybrid version and most recently, a GR derivative.
These new Corolla Cross models come with Toyota’s quality guarantee of a 3-year / 100 000km warranty and a 6 service / 90 000km service plan.
The warranty covers defects in materials, construction, and workmanship and Toyota will replace whatever needs to be fixed at no cost, as long as those repairs don’t fall under the exclusions list.
What is NOT covered by the warranty?
- Fire, accidents or theft
- Abuse or negligence
- Misuse — for example, racing or overloading
