Infiniti vehicles are the upper echelon of cars from Nissan, but like many luxury brands they don’t have the best reputation for reliability, let alone repair costs. They will eventually break down and become much more expensive to fix than similarly priced vehicles. That is why it is important for Infiniti owners to take a look at their options to protect their car with an Infiniti extended warranty.

In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about Infiniti vehicle service contracts, commonly referred to as extended auto warranties. Our in-depth analysis will answer any questions you may have about your Infiniti manufacturer’s warranty and explore all the benefits of extended protection when it comes to shielding yourself from the cost of repairing your Infiniti.

We will go over the following topics in this article:

• Infiniti Manufacturer’s Warranty Information
• Infiniti Factory Warranty Expiration Dates
• How Much Does an Infiniti Extended Warranty Cost?
• Coverage Options for New and Used Infiniti Vehicles
• Infiniti Extended Warranty vs. Third-Party Vehicle Protection
• Shopping for Infiniti Extended Warranties
• Benefits of Infiniti Protection Plans

Infiniti drivers love their options when it comes to their cars. That is why they should also consider exploring their options when it comes to protecting their Infiniti vehicle and keeping it on the road.  Reputable third-party providers, like Endurance, can offer Infiniti drivers lower prices on extended protection.

Infiniti Factory Warranty Information

Any time you buy a new Infiniti, you get their main factory powertrain warranty. New Infiniti owners also receive a bumper-to-bumper warranty that protects consumers against general manufacturing defects or design flaws. However, this is only for the first few years of ownership. Below is a summary of the new car warranties that Infiniti provides.

The Infiniti new vehicle limited warranties include:

• Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty: 4 years/60,000 miles
• Powertrain Limited Warranty: 6 years/70,000 miles
• OPTIONAL Infiniti Extended Protection Plan: 7 years/100,000 miles

Infiniti does not provide their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain plan to used or certified pre-owned Infiniti vehicles. So, only in recent years, Infiniti cars, crossovers, and SUVs will have the core powertrain components covered.

Powertrain components include the following parts:

• Engine
• Transmission/Transaxle
• Transfer Case
• Drive Systems

Certified pre-owned Infiniti owners will be asked to pay extra for the Infiniti Extended Warranty Plan if they wish to protect their vehicle. This just adds to the overall cost of the vehicle, dropping the amount a driver would save on a used car.

Thankfully, for pre-owned Infiniti owners or new owners whose factory warranties have already expired, there are other options than going directly to Infiniti for vehicle protection. In fact, a third-party company like Endurance can offer more than what manufacturers can offer.

Infiniti Manufacturer Car Warranty Expiration Dates

Infinity has solid warranty terms for new vehicles. To give credit where credit is due, their standard warranty is a 6-year /70,000-mile powertrain coverage, which is slightly above the average of 5 years/60,000 miles.

If you would like to know when your Infiniti factory warranty actually expires, please reference the following chart below. If you would like a more exact date of expiration, replace our example date of “January 1,” with the date that you purchased your new Infiniti sedan, crossover, or SUV.

Year Infiniti Purchased	Infiniti Warranty Expiration Date
January 1, 2019	January 1, 2025, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2018	January 1, 2024, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2017	January 1, 2023, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2016	January 1, 2022, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2015	January 1, 2021, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2014	January 1, 2020, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2013	January 1, 2019, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2012	January 1, 2018, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2011	January 1, 2017, or 70,000 miles
January 1, 2010	January 1, 2016, or 70,000 miles

How Much Does an Infiniti Extended Warranty Cost?

While you are still under Infiniti’s manufacturer warranty, they will pay for any needed repair as long as you have not met your time or mileage allotments. However, the most common repairs for Infiniti become a tremendous burden once those terms are over. And unlike their parent company, Nissan, Infiniti repairs are much more costly since they are considered a luxury brand.

Infiniti’s bestselling vehicle is the Q50. In terms of luxury and performance, U.S. News & World Report compares it with the BMW 3 series and Audi A4. Unfortunately, they also note the car’s high maintenance requirements and middling reliability.

Here are some common Infiniti repairs and their costs:

• Infiniti M56 owners pay $920-$970 for a starter replacement
• Infiniti M30 owners pay $921-$1,084 for an oil pump replacement
• Infiniti Q70s pay $991-$1,391 for a power pump steering replacement

Mechanical or electrical breakdowns are unexpected. If all drivers knew when, where, and how their cars would eventually break down, there would be no need for extended auto warranties. Sadly, that is not the case.

All cars eventually break down over time, and it’s likely that it will happen when you’re completely unprepared.

Protecting your Infiniti with a vehicle service contract from a reputable third-party company, like Endurance, will potentially pay for any one of the common repairs listed above, saving you thousands on auto repairs.

Can You Get a Bumper-to-Bumper Infiniti Warranty on New and Used Vehicles?

For nearly two decades, Endurance has been the nation’s premier provider of vehicle service contracts, commonly referred to as extended auto warranties. Its business is focused on helping drivers pay for repairs that may have been originally listed under their Infiniti factory warranties.

If you plan to keep your Infiniti car past the manufacturer’s warranty, and many do because of how well these cars are built, it is best to start shopping for extended coverage as soon as possible. The longer you wait to protect your car, whether it is still under factory warranty or not, the options for coverage begin to decrease. The sooner you shop for coverage, the more likely you can ensure your Infiniti is fully protected.

Specifically, looking for coverage from a reputable third-party provider or “aftermarket service contracts” like ones from Endurance can even offer Infiniti owners more flexible terms and coverage plans than dealer-sold options.

Vehicles that quality for Infiniti Extended Warranty coverage include:

Q50	Q70	Q60
QX30	QX50	QX60
QX70	QX80	G25
M35	M45

Infiniti Extended Warranty or Third-Party Vehicle Protection?

Unlike Nissan, Infiniti actually does have an extended protection plan. However, this supplemental coverage comes at an additional cost. Immediately, you might be thinking that the obvious option is to purchase from the manufacturer, but a third-party can offer more comprehensive coverage at a lower price.

Infiniti’s Extended Warranty coverage varies, but according to their website, they will ONLY cover your vehicle for 7 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) if you do the following things:

• Only use Infiniti dealerships
• Only use OEM Infiniti parts
• Terms vary, and coverage options are not customizable
• You adhere to Infiniti’s Maintenance Schedule

Endurance is a direct provider of vehicle protection and can offer drivers affordable plans without the extra fees that Infiniti dealers add. We offer competitive rates with customizable finance options for the absolute longest coverage terms.

Coverage from Endurance can cover repairs for the following components:

• Air Conditioner
• Brake Systems
• Cooling System
• Drive Axle Assembly
• Electronic Components
• Engine
• Front & Rear Suspension
• Fuel System
• Transfer Unit
• Transmission
• Turbocharger / Supercharger

Every Endurance plan is customized for each Infiniti driver’s unique wants and needs as well as make/model, mileage, and driving habits. We have coverage plans that can accommodate any budget and fit into any driving lifestyle!

What to Know Before Buying an Infiniti Extended Warranty

While under Infiniti’s warranty, you were probably used to only taking your car to their dealerships and repair facilities. Once the manufacturer’s warranty has ended, you can still take your car there, but know that they will charge you the full price.

With coverage from a third party and not a manufacturer, you do not have to solely get your work done on your Infiniti with Infiniti’s dealerships. Dealers control prices or repairs, parts, and labor, especially when your factory warranty is over.

Here are the average repair costs for an Infiniti Q50 (as of December 2024):

Water Pump Replacement	$875 to $998
Head Gasket Replacement	$3,168 to $3,680
Oil Pump Replacement	$2,467 to $2,920
Alternator Replacement	$1,144 to $1,315
Door Window Motor Replacement	$806 to $836
Starter Replacement	$1,164 to $1,272

Shopping for Infiniti Extended Car Warranties

An Infiniti protection plan from Endurance can go beyond the scope of a Nissan Motors-backed Infiniti vehicle warranty. Endurance protection plans can suit every Infiniti driver’s unique driving habits and coverage needs.

Third-party companies, like Endurance, have the advantage of focusing solely on vehicle protection. These companies offer options for both new and used vehicle owners, options very few Infiniti owners are unaware of. Infiniti vehicle protection plans can cover the same repairs the Infiniti manufacturer’s warranty did, but they can also cover more depending on what your Infiniti car, SUV, or crossover qualifies.

We can also provide protection for discontinued Infiniti models, whereas many dealership warranties do not. And with discontinued vehicles, parts are more difficult to find, further driving up the cost of auto repairs.

Owners of discontinued or older model Infiniti vehicles are the ones who are most vulnerable for mechanical or electrical breakdowns. And they are at risk of paying much more than similar models due to their age or rarity.
