Doing holiday shopping on Amazon? Get your loved one a Hyundai

You might need a bigger cart. 

At least that’s what Hyundai says of their newly launched partnership with Amazon, where the South Korean automakers now have cars available for purchase. 

That’s right: you can buy a real car on Amazon. 

Announced last year – and given a launch date of late 2024 – Amazon Autos officially went live on Tuesday in 48 cities across America, including Los Angeles and San Diego in Southern California. 

According to Amazon officials, customers now have access to a “simple, end-to-end online experience” to purchase their next vehicle. 

Customers can browse and search for available vehicles at their local dealer by make, model, trim, color and features and get an instant valuation on their existing vehicle for a potential trade-in. 

Amazon Autos also allows individuals to secure financing or pay in full for the car, and the checkout process can be completed entirely online; the only in person interaction would be when the customer picks up the car at the dealership. 

“With Amazon Autos, we’re bringing the simplicity and ease customers expect from Amazon to car shopping, one of their largest purchases, while offering dealers a new channel to connect with a broad audience,” Fan Jin, global head of Amazon Autos, said. “It’s still early for us, and we welcome customer and dealer feedback as we continue to add new functionality, expand to additional brands and iterate on the customer experience.” 

Those who buy a Hyundai on Amazon between now and Jan. 10 can receive a $2,300 gift card from Amazon. Click here for full terms and conditions.
