Mazda Now Offers A 100,000-Mile Warranty In The United Kingdom

If you’re considering buying a new Mazda CX-30 or any other car from the enthusiastic Japanese brand, it might behoove you to make two small alterations to your plans. First, wait until September 1, when the company activates its new, six-year/100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first), and second, move to the United Kingdom, where the warranty applies. The automaker’s operations in Old Blighty will now offer a warranty that’s more accommodating than its existing three-year/60,000-mile warranty (not to mention the three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage that Mazda offers in the USA). We’ve reached out to the company’s American operations to see if it’ll match the U.K. coverage and will update this article when we hear back.

New Vehicle Coverage Is A Little Different In England

Most automakers who sell cars in the American market offer a couple different warranties. For example, Mazda augments its aforementioned bumper-to-bumper guarantee with five-year/60,000-mile coverage on the powertrain components. But in the U.K., the six-year/100,000-mile warranty applies to the entire vehicle (although we suspect there will be exceptions on consumables like wiper blades, tires, engine belts, and brakes). Although we’re not experts on the new car market across the pond, it seems as though Mazda’s coverage is among the best in the business.

For comparison, Kia offers a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty, while its Hyundai corporate cousin trades off only five years of coverage for unlimited mileage. Mazda splits the difference between the two, capping coverage at 100k but giving customers six full years of peace of mind, provided they keep the annual miles to 16,666 or less. Like other automakers, Mazda will give its EV shoppers an additional warranty just for the battery, which sits at eight years in the case of the 6e electric sedan and CX-6e crossover.

Mazda USA Should Extend Its Warranty Coverage, Too

Although Mazdas tend to be free of any major reliability issues, we’d still love to see the company extend more peace of mind to its U.S. customers as well. In addition to the three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, there’s also a roadside assistance program that matches the bumper-to-bumper coverage, but that warranty is pretty mediocre in a market where Kia and Hyundai offer five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranties. Mazda Canada’s coverage mirrors that of the U.S. market in terms of time, but our neighbors to the north can drive their CX-50 crossovers and MX-5 Miata roadsters as much as they want since the warranties don’t have mileage limits.

That said, our market doesn’t seem to be hurting in terms of Mazda sales. Many of its vehicles, including the Mazda3 compact sedan, aforementioned Miata, and midsize CX-90 crossover have enjoyed sales bumps through the first half of 2025 relative to the same time period in 2024. In total, the automaker sold more than 210,000 vehicles in the U.S. in H1 2025, a tidy 4% boost from the previous year.
