Kia Motors Corporation has announced the launch of the ‘Kia Promise’, a global warranty extension programme for its vehicles. The Kia Promise is designed to support Kia customers whose movements may be limited because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Kia Promise covers 142 countries and all vehicles with original Kia warranties that expire between February 1 and April 30, 2020. The programme extends the warranty of all eligible vehicles to June 30, 2020.
