What warranty does each SUV come with in South Africa?
Haval’s seven years is the longest warranty on this page, and it is number 7 from the bottom for distance covered per year. Seven years and 200 000 km works out to 28 571 km a year — below Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer’s two-year, 100 000 km warranty at 50 000, and below the 50 000 a year that the Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer allow. At the other end, BYD’s five years and 100 000 km comes to 20 000 km a year, the least on this page. BMW and Kia cannot be placed in that order at all — those warranties have no distance limit, so there is no per-year figure to compare them on.
This table is not ranked, because no single number ranks it. A warranty is at least two figures pulling in opposite directions: a long term suits low mileage, a high distance limit suits high mileage, and a brand that wins on one can lose on the other. The third column divides one by the other so the trade-off is visible — but it is derived by us, not published by anyone, and it says nothing at all about the two brands with no distance cap, which have no figure there for that reason. The table is alphabetical so that the order asserts nothing.
Terms as published by each manufacturer for South Africa, sources checked between 2 August 2026 and 2 September 2026. Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen appear more than once because the range does not share one warranty — the EQV at 5 years / 100 000 km, the Vito Tourer at 2 years / 100 000 km, the Amarok at 4 years / 120 000 km and the Tiguan at 3 years / 120 000 km. Volkswagen publishes separate passenger and commercial warranty documents and the Amarok is classed commercial, so that pair is two documents, not an error in the table. This page covers the 55 models in our catalogue, not every SUV sold in South Africa, and it covers warranty only — service plans are a separate question with separate numbers.
One model has no ownership source recorded. Its figures are marked unverified in the table below.
