Hyundai has partnered with Amazon to make purchasing a new car as simple as buying everyday items. This marks a significant step toward modernizing the traditionally dealership-heavy car-buying experience.
With the launch of Amazon Autos, car buyers in 48 U.S. cities can now search, finance, and arrange to pick up Hyundai vehicles directly through the e-commerce platform.
Amazon Autos offers a comprehensive online experience, enabling buyers to explore Hyundai’s lineup based on model, trim, color, and features. The platform allows for transparent pricing, financing options, and trade-in valuation for existing vehicles.
After selecting a car and completing the paperwork online, customers can schedule a pickup at a participating dealership in their city. The aim is to simplify one of the most significant purchasing decisions while maintaining the trust and convenience Amazon shoppers are accustomed to.
The initiative eliminates the need for extensive dealership visits and price negotiations by providing upfront pricing and seamless online transactions. For dealerships, Amazon Autos acts as a facilitator, connecting them with millions of Amazon users.
Dealerships remain integral to the process, as customers finalize their purchase and collect their vehicles in person, ensuring a balance between online convenience and personal interaction. Currently exclusive to Hyundai, Amazon plans to expand its offerings to include more automotive brands, additional cities, and features like leasing options.
The program covers major metropolitan areas across the U.S., with more cities expected to join in the near future. Expansion plans aim to increase accessibility and diversify vehicle options, making this initiative a long-term shift in car-buying.
