Amazon will begin selling Hyundai vehicles online in the United States starting next year, the two companies said Thursday.
Customers will be able to shop, equip and purchase a car on Amazon.com and schedule delivery through a local Hyundai dealer, the companies said.
The deal is an expansion of a deal announced two years ago to expand Hyundai’s digital showroom on Amazon.com, allowing customers to configure a vehicle, calculate the price and locate a dealer to complete the sale.
Hyundai set up its first digital showroom on Amazon in 2018.
The latest version was announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new deal will also allow buyers of new Hyundai vehicles in 2025 to access Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant from their cars.
“Partnering with one of the most customer-centric organizations in the world opens up incredible opportunities as we continue to expand our portfolio, grow our sales network, transition to electrification and realize the future of smart mobility,” he said.
