How the Official Changan Warranty Works
Investing in a new Changan in the UK is an exciting step. Alongside the thrill of driving away in your new car, it’s important to understand the warranty that comes with it. Knowing how the Changan warranty works ensures peace of mind and helps you get the most out of your vehicle. From the basics of coverage to the conditions you need to be aware of, here’s everything you need to know.
What’s Covered?
Comprehensive Vehicle Warranty
Every Changan sold in the UK comes with a seven-year/100,000-mile vehicle warranty. This covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use, giving you confidence that unexpected repair bills won’t spoil your ownership experience.
Battery Warranty
For electric vehicles such as the Deepal S07, Changan provides an eight-year/120,000-mile battery warranty. As the battery is the heart of an EV, this reassurance means you can enjoy long-term ownership with confidence.
UK-Specific Adaptations
Changan has made over 150 adaptations to ensure its vehicles suit British roads, from suspension tuning to software changes. These adjustments mean your car is ready for the unique conditions of UK driving.
Exclusions and Conditions
Common Exclusions
Like all warranties, there are exclusions. Wear and tear items, damage caused by accidents or misuse, and repairs using non-genuine parts are not covered. Reading the terms carefully avoids surprises later on.
Servicing Requirements
To keep your warranty valid, you’ll need to follow the recommended service schedule at authorised Changan service centres. Regular servicing keeps your car safe, reliable, and compliant with warranty terms.
Keeping Maintenance Simple
Regular Servicing
Schedule a service every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, or as advised by Changan. Consistent maintenance helps identify small issues before they become major problems.
Simple Checks at Home
Between services, you can carry out basic checks such as tyre pressures, fluid levels, and lights. These small steps help keep your car in good condition and reduce the risk of problems.
Making a Claim
When to Claim
If you notice a fault, consult your warranty booklet and contact your dealer straight away. Authorised dealers will guide you through the process and arrange any necessary work.
Keep Documentation Safe
Maintain a clear record of your servicing history and receipts. This documentation proves you’ve looked after your vehicle and makes the claims process smoother.
