Hyundai has just revealed its plan to become the first-ever automaker to sell cars directly on Amazon, set to roll out in 2024.
Sources reveal that this innovative approach will empower customers to seamlessly purchase cars and opt for hassle-free delivery to their doorstep or convenient pickup from a nearby dealership.
The buzz also hints at a wide-reaching initiative allowing auto dealers nationwide to showcase and sell their vehicles within Amazon’s expansive digital storefronts across the United States.
While the specifics of how this Amazon venture enhances the car-buying experience remain somewhat elusive, Hyundai’s USA website currently boasts a user-friendly native search tool, enabling customers to narrow down their choices within a 250-mile radius.
Beyond the realm of online sales, Hyundai is set to elevate the driving experience by integrating Amazon’s voice-activated assistant, Alexa, into its vehicles starting in 2025.
Adding to the tech synergy, Hyundai is also rumored to embrace Amazon’s AWS and Amazon Web Services as its preferred cloud provider, a strategic move aimed at streamlining production processes and cutting costs to enhance efficiency.
