That's a very good warranty, I think most companies have 4 years here, but BYD is new to their export markets, and they need to give people confidence to capture market share.
KIA and MG offer 7 year warranty here. KIA had serious quality problems not so long ago, so I guess they had to up the game. Here BYD offers 6 years, and Hyundai 5.
The problem with Kia and Hyundai is that you can’t really trust their warranty anymore. Which is very unfortunate, I really like the Ioniq 5 otherwise.
Why can't you trust Hyundai and Kia warranty?
Google ICCU. Total shitshow.
I don't see anything worrisome, because of problems with the ICCU they have the extended the warranty, and I haven't heard of problems with neither Hyundai or KIA here in Denmark. A decade ago, it was a gamble to buy a used KIA because they were rust buckets, but they are way better protected now.
