Mitsubishi’s 10-Year Warranty: Long-Term Confidence for Kitchener-Waterloo Drivers
Mitsubishi’s 10-Year Warranty: Long-Term Confidence for Kitchener-Waterloo Drivers
Posted on September 16, 2026
When you choose a new vehicle, you are making a decision that may shape years of daily commutes, family trips, winter drives, and weekend adventures. A strong warranty can make that decision easier by providing added confidence well beyond the day you leave the dealership.
At KW Mitsubishi, we are proud to offer new Mitsubishi vehicles backed by comprehensive warranty protection. You may have heard Mitsubishi warranty coverage described using phrases such as “10-10-10.” In Canada, the current core warranty package is best understood as 10-5-5: a 10-year powertrain limited warranty, a 5-year new vehicle limited warranty, and 5 years of unlimited-kilometre roadside assistance. Eligible plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles also receive separate 10-year lithium-ion battery limited coverage.
What Does the Mitsubishi Warranty Include?
Each part of the warranty package has a different purpose. Together, these protections help cover important vehicle systems while providing practical support when the unexpected happens.
| Coverage | Term | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain Limited Warranty | 10 years or 160,000 km | Limited coverage for eligible powertrain components that help produce and deliver power to the wheels. |
| New Vehicle Limited Warranty | 5 years or 100,000 km | Limited coverage for most vehicle parts under normal use and maintenance, subject to exclusions. |
| Roadside Assistance | 5 years with unlimited kilometres | 24-hour assistance for eligible roadside situations in Canada and the continental United States. |
| Hybrid & EV Battery Limited Warranty | 10 years or 160,000 km | Separate limited coverage for the lithium-ion battery in eligible PHEV and EV models. |
Time and kilometre limits are based on whichever comes first. Warranty coverage is subject to its applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions, so we encourage drivers to review the official documents for their specific vehicle.
Understanding the 10-Year Powertrain Limited Warranty
The powertrain contains many of the systems responsible for creating power and moving your vehicle. Depending on the vehicle and applicable warranty terms, this can include eligible components associated with the engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
Mitsubishi’s 10-year or 160,000-kilometre Powertrain Limited Warranty provides long-term protection for eligible components. That can be especially reassuring for Kitchener-Waterloo drivers who plan to keep their vehicles for many years or accumulate significant kilometres through commuting and family travel.
Why Long-Term Powertrain Coverage Matters
Major powertrain components can be complex and expensive to repair. Limited warranty protection does not replace routine maintenance, but it can help reduce uncertainty surrounding eligible defects during the coverage period.
The 10-year term also reflects Mitsubishi’s confidence in the quality, reliability, and durability of its vehicles. Drivers can explore our new Mitsubishi inventory in Kitchener-Waterloo to find a model that fits their plans for the road ahead.
What Is Covered by the 5-Year New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
The 5-year or 100,000-kilometre New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers most vehicle parts under normal use and maintenance, subject to the warranty’s terms and exclusions. It complements the longer powertrain coverage by protecting a broader range of eligible components during the first years of ownership.
This warranty does not mean every service, repair, or wear item is automatically covered. Regular maintenance is not included, and certain batteries, entertainment systems, wear items, damage, and other components or conditions may be excluded. Our team can explain the coverage that applies to a particular vehicle and help owners understand the difference between warranty work and routine maintenance.
10-Year Battery Coverage for Eligible PHEV and EV Models
Drivers considering an electrified vehicle may have another important “10” to consider. Eligible plug-in hybrid and electric models receive a 10-year or 160,000-kilometre Lithium-Ion Battery Limited Warranty.
For example, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV combines a gasoline engine with electric motors and a rechargeable drive battery. The separate battery warranty can provide added confidence to drivers making the transition to plug-in hybrid ownership.
Battery coverage varies by vehicle and remains subject to applicable warranty terms. Our team can review the exact protection included with an eligible model before you purchase or lease.
Roadside Support When You Need It
Mitsubishi’s warranty package extends beyond repair coverage. New Mitsubishi vehicles include 5 years of roadside assistance with unlimited kilometres, helping eligible owners access support 24 hours a day in Canada and the continental United States.
Available roadside services may include:
- Towing to the nearest Mitsubishi dealership
- Battery jump-start assistance
- Spare-tire changes
- Emergency fuel or fluid delivery
- Lockout assistance
- Eligible mechanical first aid at the roadside

Does Regular Maintenance Affect Warranty Coverage?
A warranty and a maintenance plan serve different purposes. Warranty coverage addresses eligible defects under the applicable terms, while routine maintenance helps keep your vehicle operating as designed. Oil changes, inspections, filters, tire service, brake care, and other scheduled items remain the owner’s responsibility.
Following the maintenance schedule for your specific Mitsubishi can support long-term performance and create a useful service history. Our Mitsubishi-trained service team can help identify the appropriate maintenance intervals for your model and driving habits.
When your Mitsubishi is due for maintenance, you can conveniently schedule a service appointment online with our team in Kitchener.
Can You Add More Protection?
Some drivers want coverage beyond the standard factory warranty. Mitsubishi Diamond Care products may provide options such as mechanical breakdown protection, prepaid maintenance, appearance protection, loan protection, or excess wear-and-use protection for eligible vehicles.
Coverage, eligibility, benefits, and exclusions vary by product. Our team can help you compare the factory warranty with available protection plans based on how long you expect to own your vehicle, how much you drive, and the type of support you value most. You can also review our warranty and extended protection information before speaking with us.
