Volkswagen’s new Atlas SUV and redesigned Tiguan crossover will hit dealerships later this year with an intriguing new feature: A transferable 6-year/72,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. In hopes of enticing customers who might be leery of the brand after its diesel-emissions scandal, the new warranty is designed to exceed that offered by VW competitors.

VW’s bumper-to-bumper coverage includes the engine, transmission and the optional 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, and it’s transferable to subsequent owners until the 6-year/72,000-mile limit (whichever comes first) is reached.

Most major competitors to the Atlas and Tiguan offer a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Hyundai and Kia, which offer a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, do offer a powertrain warranty higher in time and mileage (10 years or 100,000 miles) than VW’s, but it is not transferable to a second owner after the basic warranty expires. Nissan, however, does cover its continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) for 10 years or 120,000 miles.

“We specifically designed and built the all-new Atlas and Tiguan for American customers,” says Hinrich J. Woebcken, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America. “This warranty further addresses the needs of American buyers head-on. We’re confident in the reliability and workmanship of these SUVs, and we want our customers to be confident in their purchase.”

Unfortunately, if you’d prefer a Golf Alltrack, Jetta or other VW model , you’re stuck with the current 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas is expected to be in dealerships this spring with a starting price of $31,425. The 2018 Tiguan will be available later this year.
