What are the warranty intervals and service schedule?

The new TX has been designed and rigorously tested to meet the demanding requirements of a purpose-built vehicle. The drive battery is protected by a market-leading, five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and every TX is also covered by a fully comprehensive whole vehicle warranty for three years, or 120,000 miles (whichever is sooner).  Service intervals are 25,000 miles or yearly.

All non-wearing components, from motors to ball joints to bushes, are covered against manufacturing defects for the full duration of the warranty – which means no unforeseen repair costs and a hassle-free ownership experience. They also offer an extended warranty of 5 years or 150,000 miles at an additional cost for extra piece of mind.
