Every new car warranty in Australia in 2022

When it comes to purchasing a new car, it's important to take a car's warranty into account. The basic proposition is much the same across the board. However, the fine print can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer.

Note that warranty terms may be conditional, and some commercial applications may also limit warranty cover. Individual components like electric vehicle batteries may also be covered by separate warranties.

Here is a ranking of manufacturers' warranties in ascending order:
