Toyota, Lexus Extend Life of Battery Warranty for 2020 Hybrids
Toyota and its luxury arm, Lexus, have extended the battery warranties offered for the brands’ hybrid vehicles to 10 years or 150,000 miles of driving, whichever comes first. This matches what was already required by law in California. For owners in other states, the warranty was previously eight years or 100,000 miles. Warranties for both car brands cover first owners and all subsequent owners.
