Amazon revealed at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show on Thursday that it plans to initiate the online sale of Hyundai cars starting next year, as outlined in a press release.
Departing from the traditional time-consuming car-buying process, the aim of this collaboration is to streamline the car-shopping experience, intending to make it “simple, convenient, and quick,” as stated in a promotional video from both companies.
In the coming year, U.S. customers will be provided with the option to visit Amazon, where they can seamlessly filter through available cars in their respective areas, considering various factors such as model, trim, color, and other features, creating a more personalized and convenient car-shopping experience.
The checkout process, selection of payment methods and financing options, as well as the arrangement for the car to be delivered or picked up at the dealership, can then be facilitated.
it was conveyed by Hyundai Motor Company’s President and CEO, Jaehoon (Jay) Chang, that as the inaugural automotive brand providing comprehensive end-to-end transactions on Amazon’s U.S. platform, this underscores our ongoing commitment to enhancing the customer experience in collaboration with our exceptional retail partners.
Further aspects of the multi-year collaboration include the introduction, by 2025, of a hands-free Alexa experience in Hyundai vehicles. This feature is designed to enable users not only to enjoy audiobooks and music but also to manage their Amazon smart home devices while on the move.
From 2018 onward, Hyundai has maintained a digital showroom on the online marketplace, allowing individuals to explore its range of models.
