Amazon will also sell cars in the USA in future
The online retailer Amazon also wants to sell cars via its platform in future. At a car show in Los Angeles on Thursday, the US company announced its first cooperation with South Korean manufacturer Hyundai for the sale of vehicles in the USA. The partnership also provides for Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa to be available in Hyundai cars from 2025.
In future, customers will be able to select their model and other options online. After ordering, they will be able to collect the car from their local dealer or have it delivered to their home. Financing options will also be offered on Amazon. Until now, car buyers have been able to view offers on Amazon, but not make the purchase on the website. The share prices of US companies that sell used cars online plummeted as a result of the announcement.
This partnership between Amazon and Hyundai marks a significant step in cooperation, as Amazon will start selling Hyundai cars in the USA through its platform. Furthermore, Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa, will be integrated into Hyundai cars starting from 2025, enhancing the customer experience in the USA.
