Kia India CPO Warranty Multi-Brand 2025: 7-Year Kia Coverage + Non-Kia Certification—A Game-Changer in India’s Used Car Revolution
In a landmark move that redefines trust, transparency, and long-term ownership value, Kia India has unveiled a comprehensively upgraded Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, introducing 7-year certification for Kia vehicles, multi-brand warranty coverage, and a 175-point inspection protocol across its rapidly expanding 114-outlet network. For the first time in India, buyers can now purchase non-Kia pre-owned cars through Kia CPO showrooms with a 12 months or 15,000 km warranty, while Kia-branded used vehicles enjoy 24 months or 40,000 km coverage—all backed by digital transparency, trade-in support, financing, and insurance integration.
This strategic expansion is not just an upgrade—it’s a paradigm shift in India’s organized used car ecosystem, where affordability, reliability, and peace of mind are driving exponential growth. With the used car market projected to surpass new car sales by 2027, Kia India is positioning itself as the undisputed leader in certified, premium pre-owned mobility, extending its “Movement That Inspires” philosophy from new car showrooms to the pre-owned space.

Kia India has extended the certification eligibility for its own pre-owned vehicles from 5 years to 7 years, a bold statement of confidence in the durability, build quality, and after-sales ecosystem of its models like the Seltos, Sonet, Carens, and EV6. This upgrade ensures that even older Kia vehicles remain eligible for full CPO benefits, significantly enhancing their resale value and buyer appeal.
