Yes and battery is 10y as well, but not transferable even to a family member nor spouse.

Biggest warranty I would worry about is using cheap aftermarket level2 charger and plastic area melt near the charging port. Extreme rare occasion even with cheap charger, but few wrote about that on some ev forums.
Most likely it might not get covered but some said charger manufacturer covered the repair.

Yeah. It is basically almost a same car. Infotainment is almost same as Hyundai. Dash and steering stuff are same/similar.
My wife drove elantra till June 2020 and she is very familiar with the kia electronics.
