Hyundai is making car buying as easy as one-click shopping.In 2024, Hyundai and Amazon teamed up to let customers buy a car entirely online—in under 20 minutes. Shoppers can browse available vehicles, check out, and schedule delivery, all with minimal dealership interaction. (The Sun)
Why This is a Game-Changer
- Customers Hate Dealership Hassles: Most buyers prefer to skip in-person negotiations.
- Amazon Has Built-In Trust: People already buy everything on Amazon—why not cars?
- Hyundai Gets an E-Commerce Edge: Other automakers still force people to visit dealers, but Hyundai is ahead of the curve.
What Automakers Should Do Now
- Invest in Online Sales: A simple, one-click buying option could increase conversions.
- Streamline Financing and Delivery: Hyundai is proving people will buy cars online—if the process is smooth.
- Leverage Big Tech Partnerships: Partnering with established e-commerce giants reduces friction for consumers.
Hyundai’s move signals a future where dealerships play less of a role—and online car sales explode.
