The Automotive or Car Warranty is one of the critical values people take into account when deciding between different manufacturers. Of course, it won't apply if you are actually running after a particular model, as you would be already decided, but it comes very handily to know how these spread across the different manufacturers out there.
Default Warranty sorted by Manufacturer
The purpose of this article is that you can have, in a fast read, a broad idea of what you get as the Default Manufacturer Warranty and then, rapidly decide which leasing term suits better your needs. You can come up with desitions like "Audi, Mercedes and BMW car can be leased for four years" or "KIA, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi for up to 5" while getting the comprehensive basic coverage.

All Manufacturers offer Extended Warranties
Although this is all the default term, you can actually and depending on your needs, extend the coverage period of your warranty. As I've mentioned before on other articles, this is a very arbitrary decision, so I encourage you to read further about it. My main suggestion, the Extended Warranty Analysis I did about Toyota Canada coverages.
