Services offered by Hyundai in India

Aura, i20/N Line and 3 years/unlimited kms which come with higher-end models like the Venue, Verna, Creta, Alcazar, Elantra, Tucson, Exter and IONIQ 5.

Under this policy, Hyundai’s authorized dealers shall repair or replace any Hyundai genuine part that is deemed by HMIL to be defective in workmanship or material within the warranty period at no cost to the owner of the vehicle.

However, this warranty period has some limitations and is not covered in certain cases which includes normal maintenance other than the 3 free services like minor adjustments, cleaning, engine tuning and more.

It includes replacement wear & tear parts, which can be bought along with a new car purchase or any time before 1st free service.
