In a major collaboration, Amazon announced a partnership with Hyundai Motor Company to enter the auto retail sector through online vehicle sales in the U.S. The plan is to launch this initiative in 2024 with the South Korean automaker, offering customers the option to buy Hyundai vehicles on Amazon's website and pick them up from their local dealer. This groundbreaking collaboration also includes Hyundai's selection of AWS as its preferred cloud provider, as well as the integration of Alexa Built-in experience in Hyundai's next-generation vehicles.
The partnership between Amazon and Hyundai marks a significant move into the auto retail sector, intensifying competition for established players like CarMax, Vroom, Sonic Automotive, AutoNation, and Carvana. This new initiative is designed to streamline the vehicle purchasing process for customers by providing an online sales platform, as well as leveraging cutting-edge technology and cloud infrastructure to enhance the overall customer experience. The implications of this move are widespread, as it signals a shift in the traditional auto retail landscape and sets the stage for future disruptions in the industry. Both companies are poised to innovate together and carve out a significant presence in the evolving auto sales market.
