DS’s new car warranty is fairly basic, and worse than some rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Nº4 E-Tense.
The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles (unlimited mileage in the first two years and limited to 60K miles in the third year). In addition to the standard new car warranty, the all-electric Nº4 E-Tense versions come with an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.
Warranty on a used DS Nº4
- If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ DS Nº4 E-Tense from an official DS dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
- If you are buying a used DS Nº4 E-Tense from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
- If you are buying a used DS Nº4 E-Tense from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
