Subaru ties its ten-year warranty to exclusive official maintenance

Published on June 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Subaru presents its new strategy for the Uncharted and E-Outback electric vehicles: a 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty, transferable when selling the car. The offer aims to attract buyers but requires an annual visit to the official dealership. For the user, this means greater vehicle protection and potential appreciation in the second-hand market, although with mandatory service costs that cannot be avoided.

Both models use an e-SGP platform with liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries. The thermal management system keeps the cells between 20 and 35 degrees, optimizing fast DC charging up to 150 kW. The warranty covers battery degradation below 70% capacity during the stipulated period. Annual maintenance at the official network includes software control and high-voltage circuit checks, key points for preserving coverage.

Ten years of peace of mind, with an annual visit to the dealership 🛠️

Subaru promises you a decade without electric surprises, as long as you don't think of taking the car to the corner garage. Because yes, you can sell the car with the warranty included, but the new owner also inherits the annual appointment with the dealership. It's like having life insurance that forces you to see your primary care doctor every year, even if it's just to tell you that you're fine and charge you for the consultation.
