– More Robust Information on the Hyundai Brand and Vehicles is Available on Amazon.com
– Ability for Customers to Quickly Find a Hyundai Dealer in their Area and Enjoy Easy Access to all Hyundai Shopper Assurance Conveniences
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 18, 2018 – Hyundai continues to deliver on its commitment to exceptional customer service with a new digital showroom on Amazon.com that offers car buyers the ability to compare pricing and reviews, book test drives, check dealer inventories and other Shopper Assurance conveniences directly through Amazon Vehicles. The new digital showroom can be found at Amazon.com/Hyundai.
“The car industry is changing, and customer demands and expectations around a frictionless, efficient and transparent experience are key drivers,” said Dean Evans, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai Shopper Assurance was just the first step in modernizing the way people shop for and buy cars. We are excited to continue improving the automotive retail experience by offering tools and access that make shopping for a car even easier.”
“This collaboration with Amazon provides customers with the ability to learn about Hyundai vehicles in a way that matches their expectations for nearly every other type of purchase,” said Tim Maxwell, senior group manager, digital marketing, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai and its dealers are modernizing the car buying process, so it made sense for us to be the first car company with its own digital showroom.”
“We’re thrilled to continue collaborating with Hyundai on new programs that work back from customers to provide the ease of discovery and research they’ve come to expect with Amazon – in this case, enabling them to easily explore Hyundai’s full vehicle line, read reviews from other Hyundai owners, schedule a test drive and more, all within one destination,” said Jeremi Gorman, Director, Global Field Sales for Amazon Media Group.
Hyundai’s showroom on Amazon.com takes prospective car buyers on a customer journey, starting with a “brand experience” page highlighting the latest in Hyundai technology and automotive innovation. From there, customers can learn about Hyundai Assurance, receive details on vehicles that fit their preferences and buying habits, read reviews and more. For the first time, customers also have the opportunity to click through directly to HyundaiUSA.com to access Shopper Assurance conveniences, including transparent pricing, flexible test drives, streamlined purchase options and a three day worry-free exchange, along with finding a local Hyundai dealer.
Hyundai first collaborated with Amazon in 2016 with “Prime Now, Drive Now,” its first-to-market on-demand vehicle test drive program which allowed prospective buyers to book test drives through Amazon Prime Now. In addition, Hyundai was the first mainstream automaker to connect cars with homes using Amazon Echo and the Blue Link skill for Amazon Alexa.
