Kia Seltos Extended Car Warranty

The Kia Seltos is a stylish, well-equipped compact SUV that has sold strongly in South Africa. Once the factory warranty expires, its petrol and CRDi diesel engines and dual-clutch transmission carry documented failure areas that become an owner cost.

An extended motor warranty protects you against the mechanical and electronic faults that matter most on the out-of-warranty Seltos — keeping repair costs predictable.

What’s covered

Known Kia Seltos failure areas

The Seltos shares its engines and transmissions with the wider Hyundai-Kia range, and carries the same documented failure areas — none of them wear-and-tear items.

Dual-clutch (DCT) transmission faults are the most relevant on turbo and diesel Seltos variants, including shudder, hesitation and mechatronic-unit issues, particularly in urban stop-start use. Clutch-pack or mechatronic repair is a significant workshop bill and a genuine mechanical transmission failure covered under warranty.

1.5 CRDi injector and DPF faults on the diesel are documented, including injector wear producing rough running and smoke, and DPF blockage from short-run duty cycles. Both are covered component failures rather than service items.

Electrical and sensor faults including crank/cam sensor issues, electronic module faults and infotainment problems are documented across the range. These are covered component failures under an extended warranty.

Monthly or Once-Off — Your Choice

Protect your Seltos with a Monthly Motor Warranty from R246/month with flexible payments and no long-term commitment, or a Once-Off Warranty Plan providing 24 months of cover paid upfront — no waiting period, no monthly commitment.
