What is the warranty coverage on the hybrid battery?
Effective July 1, 2009, Toyota Australia extended the warranty coverage for the hybrid battery from 5 years or 100,000 kilometres to 8 years or 160,000 kilometres warranty (whichever occurs first) from the warranty commencement date. The extended warranty coverage for the hybrid battery will also apply retrospectively to all hybrid vehicles sold by Toyota Australia since 2001. The 8 year or 160,000 kilometre warranty (whichever occurs first) is fully transferable to a new owner of a vehicle. Owners of Prius vehicles prior to July 1st 2009 delivery, should visit a Toyota dealer to activate the 8 year or 160,000 kilometre hybrid battery warranty. All new hybrid cars delivered from July 1st 2009 come with this warranty pre-activated.
