lexus hybrid battery warranty

For Lexus hybrids in Australia, the warranty headline is pleasantly simple: the vehicle gets 5 years/unlimited km, and the hybrid battery can be covered for up to 10 years/unlimited km.

The trick? Have a Lexus dealer perform the annual Hybrid Health Check—usually bundled with scheduled servicing—and the battery coverage extends year by year up to that 10-year mark.

Skip the health checks and the battery sits under the normal vehicle warranty period, which is not nearly as generous.

Coverage is transferable to the next owner, but abuse, neglect and aftermarket tinkering will see goodwill vanish faster than your fuel bill.

If your car predates the current scheme, ask a Lexus dealer to confirm coverage by VIN—policies change over time, as they do.
