Amazon offers online auto shopping from Hyundai dealers
U.S. consumers can now browse, order, finance, and schedule pickup of a new Hyundai vehicle from a local participating dealer directly on Amazon.
Amazon is moving forward in a partnership with auto brand Hyundai that was initially announced in late 2023 making Hyundai the first automaker able to sell vehicles on Amazon’s U.S. online store.

Now, starting Tuesday, Dec. 10, vehicle shoppers in 48 U.S. cities can shop from Hyundai dealers across major metropolitan areas nationwide via Amazon Autos.
Hyundai customers on Amazon are able to browse and search for available vehicles at their local dealer by make, model, trim, color, and features; get an instant valuation and trade in their existing vehicle toward the price of the new car; see transparent, upfront pricing; secure financing or pay in full; complete the checkout process online and schedule a pick-up time at the dealership
All these steps occur within the Amazon Auto shopping experience. Hyundai is serving as exclusive launch partner for this integrated auto-buying service and the e-tailer plans to add more brands in 2026. Amazon is soliciting consumer and dealer feedback as it adds new functionality, expands brands and iterates on the customer experience.”
"We’re partnering with dealers and brands to redesign car shopping—making it more transparent, convenient, and customer-friendly," said Fan Jin, global head of Amazon Autos, in a corporate blog post. "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.”
Vehicle shopping and purchases happen directly within the Amazon store with features like customer reviews, seller (dealership) reviews, add to cart and the typical Amazon checkout process.
In addition, Hyundai has named Amazon Web Services as its preferred cloud provider, and the Alexa Built-in car-based digital experience is coming to Hyundai’s next-generation vehicles.
This follows Amazon’s previous agreement to deploy its technology and solutions, including Amazon Devices, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Amazon Last Mile, across the organization and vehicles of Italy-based automotive conglomerate Stellantis (parent of U.S. auto brands including Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep).
"Listing our inventory on Amazon is a game-changer for how we connect with car buyers," said Steven Suh, general sales manager of South Bay Hyundai, in the blog post. "It allows us to showcase our vehicles to millions of daily shoppers, while setting our pricing upfront. We can now reach a large local audience with the convenient and transparent experience customers expect when shopping with Amazon. Customers come in excited to pick up their new car and we can build on those customer relationships from there."
Amazon also plans to add functionality such as leasing and expanded financing options, as well as extend the offering to more U.S. cities. The 48 currently available cities are:
Atlanta; Austin; Baltimore; Beaumont-Port Arthur, Tex.; Birmingham, Ala.; Boston; Champaign/Springfield, Ill.; Charlotte; Chicago; Cincinnati; Cleveland; Columbia, S.C.; Columbus, Dallas; Denver; El Paso; Fond Du Lac, Wis; Ft.
