Honda Australia has announced free servicing for new 2026 ZR-V, HR-V, CR-V, Civic and Accord buyers, covering the first five scheduled services with Honda dealers. Eligible customers can also receive gift cards of up to $3000 until stock runs out.

Why it matters

The offer lowers the ongoing cost of owning a new Honda in Australia while highlighting how warranty lengths are becoming a competitive point between car brands. Honda Australia currently offers a five-year warranty, shorter than the seven or more years offered by many rivals.

Honda Australia is offering up to $3000 in gift cards and five free scheduled services on eligible new models, with the warranty and roadside assistance extended from five to eight years only when cars are serviced at a Honda Centre. The Civic Type R, MY27 Civic, MY27 Prelude and Honda Super-One are excluded, and the total number of gift cards available has not been disclosed.

The players

Honda Australia

The Australian arm of Japanese carmaker Honda, which sells passenger vehicles and operates a network of dealerships across the country.

The details

The offer applies to 2026 ZR-V, HR-V, CR-V, Civic and Accord purchases, with eligible customers claiming free servicing through Honda dealers. Honda is also extending its five-year unlimited kilometre warranty and five years of premium roadside assistance to eight years, provided servicing is carried out at a Honda Centre.

Roadmap

Honda Australia's five-year warranty trails the seven or more years offered by many competing brands, making the extension to eight years a response to a wider shift in how car makers compete on ownership costs. The servicing and gift card package also reflects a broader push by manufacturers to reduce the upfront and ongoing costs of new car ownership in a competitive market.

Buyers of eligible 2026 Honda models can reduce ongoing servicing costs through five free scheduled services. Choosing to service the car at a Honda Centre also extends the warranty and roadside assistance cover from five to eight years.

The takeaway

Buyers comparing new cars should look beyond the sticker price and consider servicing costs, warranty length and roadside assistance. Checking whether a dealer's offer requires servicing at a specific centre can affect the total value of the package.
