Amazon and Hyundai Motor Co. have officially launched their collaboration to bring Hyundai vehicle sales online, enabling car buyers in 48 U.S. cities to browse, finance, and schedule the pickup of a new car directly on Amazon.
This follows a strategic partnership announced last year, in which Hyundai also designated Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its preferred cloud provider for digital transformation efforts.
Amazon is No. 1 in the Top 1000 Database. The database is Digital Commerce 360’s ranking of the largest online retailers in North America by annual web sales. Amazon is also No. 3 in Digital Commerce 360’s Global Online Marketplaces Database, which ranks the 100 largest global marketplaces by third-party gross merchandise value (GMV).
Purchasing a Hyundai via Amazon Autos
Through the newly introduced Amazon Autos platform, customers can:
- Search for available vehicles at participating local dealerships by make model, trim, color, and features.
- Receive trade-in valuations for existing vehicles.
- Access upfront pricing details.
- Arrange financing or complete full payments.
- Finalize the checkout process online.
- Schedule vehicle pickup at the dealership.
“We’re partnering with dealers and brands to redesign car shopping — making it more transparent, convenient, and customer-friendly,” said Fan Jin, global head of Amazon Autos.
Currently, Amazon Autos focuses on new Hyundai vehicles but plans to expand in 2024 to include additional automotive brands, leasing options, broader financing tools, and increased city coverage. The platform aims to simplify the car-buying experience for consumers while offering dealerships a new avenue to reach customers.
