Hyundai is committed to customer satisfaction, and for owners of new Hyundai vehicles, this includes the peace of mind offered by Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance (HCM). If you’re considering or already own a Hyundai Ioniq 5, it’s important to understand how this program applies to your all-electric vehicle. While the specifics of maintenance differ for electric vehicles compared to their gasoline counterparts, Hyundai still provides valuable coverage to ensure your vehicle remains in top condition.
The Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program is offered on all new 2020-2025 Hyundai models purchased or leased on or after February 1, 2020. This program aims to cover essential routine services for a period of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For many Hyundai owners, this includes services like oil changes and tire rotations at factory-scheduled intervals. However, it’s crucial to note that electric vehicles like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are explicitly excluded from complimentary oil changes as they do not require them.
Despite the exclusion of oil changes for electric vehicles, the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program still offers benefits for Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners. The program does include tire rotations, which are a critical part of regular maintenance for any vehicle, including EVs, to ensure even tire wear and extend tire lifespan. These rotations are scheduled at normal factory intervals and are covered for the same 3-year/36,000-mile period.
Furthermore, the HCM program encompasses multi-point inspections. These inspections are vital for identifying potential issues early and maintaining the overall health of your Hyundai Ioniq 5. While the program focuses on “normal maintenance schedule intervals,” it’s important for Ioniq 5 owners to consult their owner’s manual for the specific maintenance schedule recommended for their electric vehicle. More frequent maintenance that might be required due to severe driving conditions is not covered under the complimentary program.
It’s important to remember key terms of the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program:
- It applies to new Hyundai retail vehicles from model years 2020-2025 sold on or after February 1, 2020.
- Services must be performed at authorized Hyundai servicing dealers.
- Each service must be obtained within 1,000 miles or 1 month of the recommended interval in the Owner’s Manual.
- The program is for the original owner and is not transferable (except between spouses).
- It covers only basic services listed in the Owner’s Manual at the specified intervals. Normal wear and tear items like filters and brake pads are not covered.
- Services listed as “inspect” in the Owner’s Manual are not covered for service charge, only the inspections themselves are part of the multi-point inspection.
For Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners, while some aspects of the Complimentary Maintenance program like oil changes are not applicable, the inclusion of tire rotations and multi-point inspections still offers considerable value. To fully understand the maintenance schedule and applicable complimentary services for your Hyundai Ioniq 5, always refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual and consult with your local authorized Hyundai dealer. They can provide detailed information and ensure you are taking full advantage of the benefits available to you.
