Renault Australia has today announced it is moving to a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty on all Renault Sport and GT vehicles.
All versions of Renault Sport’s iconic hot hatches – the Megane RS and Clio RS – delivered after 1 July 2014 will receive a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty. In addition, the new Megane GT220 Hatch and Wagon launched this week will now also receive a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty.
In April 2011, Renault Australia became the first European brand to offer a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty on their standard passenger cars. Renault Australia has now continued this story of offering customers’ increased peace-of-mind when purchasing their iconic Renault Sport and GT vehicles.
Renault has been continuously introducing reassurance measures over the past four years including Capped Price Servicing which has been very well received by customers across Australia.
As with Renault’s passenger car range – already covered by a 5 year/unlimited kilometre warranty – customers will also receive 5 years of roadside assistance to give further peace-of-mind.
Justin Hocevar, Managing Director of Renault Australia, said: “I am thrilled to be able to announce the extension of our Renault Sport and GT warranty to five years. We were the first European brand in Australia to offer a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty on our passenger cars and we are maintaining our commitment to offering our customers peace-of-mind with the introduction of the five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty on our Renault Sport products.
“We are incredibly confident in the exceptional quality of all of our products, including our Renault Sport and GT vehicles, and this change in warranty enables us to demonstrate that confidence to all Australian consumers.
“This new five-year new-vehicle warranty on the Australian range of Renault Sport vehicles is a permanent change, not a short-term gimmick. This has two important outcomes: it means our enthusiast customers can now enjoy even greater peace of mind, and it also means the complete range of Renault passenger vehicles is now covered by one of the industry’s best-supported new-vehicle warranty packages.
“In the past 6 years we have seen a 68% reduction in the warranty costs per vehicle, which are now some of the lowest in the industry.
“We are confident this self-assured move by Renault Australia will be well received by performance car buyers across Australia,†said Hocevar.
