Nissan launches 10-year/300,000km warranty in NZ

Amid a rising tide of affordably priced Chinese competitors with generous warranty packages, Japanese carmaker Nissan is set to fight back with a huge warranty of its own. 

The marque has announced that it is bringing the Nissan MORE Ownership Program warranty it offers its customers in Australia to New Zealand, in a push the brand hopes will help bring customers more peace of mind in choosing a Nissan.

The programme is a 10-year/300,000km warranty, with service activated roadside assistance and flat price servicing. 

It is applicable to all new Nissan products, so long as customers only get their vehicles serviced within the authorised Nissan dealership network at scheduled intervals.

From today, the package also includes up to 10-years/300,000km of 24/7 roadside assistance. For EV owners, this includes battery charging assistance and specialised towing. 

The warranty package is backdated, meaning it is available to anyone who has bought a new Nissan since January 1 2023. 

“We’re thrilled to bring the Nissan MORE Ownership Program to New Zealand,” said Michael Hill, Director Aftersales, Nissan Oceania.

“This program delivers industry-leading peace of mind, cost certainty, and long-term value for our customers, whether they’re new owners or have been part of the Nissan family since 2023.

“By extending warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and fixed-price servicing, we’re rewarding loyalty and making ownership simpler and more predictable than ever.

“This program isn’t just for new cars — it also adds value when it comes time to sell, as the warranty is fully transferable to the next owner, supporting future resale value.”

Nissan is the second Japanese marque in as many weeks to announce a new, bolstered warranty package, following on from confirmation that Suzuki would be bringing in an 8-year/100,000km warranty.
