Warranty and Service plans

Omoda South Africa provides a 7-year and/or 200 000 km warranty (whichever occurs first)

This warranty applies to any new vehicle sold and delivered by an authorised Omoda dealership. It warrants that the vehicle will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. This warranty is subject to certain conditions and exclusions, which you will find in your owner's manual.

Omoda SA also warranties the vehicle's drivetrain for 7 years / 1 000 000km (for the first owner and whichever occurs first) but is also subject to the conditions and exclusions you will find in your owner's manual. 

Customers also receive a 7-year / 100 000 km service plan with 15 000km service intervals.

Cost of repair

Omoda quotes between R4 000 and R4 500 for a minor service (approximately) and roughly R7 500 to R8 800 for the major services at 120 000 km. It will be worth checking with your Omoda dealership, as the dealerships' franchise nature will result in slightly different pricing.

Parts are not an issue either, as Omoda South Africa has a 93% first pick on parts and can have the required parts at the dealership within 48 hours of ordering.

The parts are also not terribly expensive, with a parts bin on par with segment competitors and much cheaper than its German counterparts.
