Hyundai has partnered with Amazon to offer electric vehicles online. This novel approach to automotive distribution enables buyers to buy a Hyundai EV with the same ease and convenience as ordering any other goods from Amazon.
The Amazon Auto program allows US buyers to peruse Hyundai’s EV lineup, including the popular Ioniq 5, directly on Amazon’s website. Customers can refine their search by model, trim, color, and feature.
One of the most tempting parts of this new purchasing experience is the clear price. Customers can bypass the terrible bargaining process at traditional dealerships and see the vehicle’s pricing up front. The entire purchase can be performed online using Amazon’s familiar, simple checkout experience.
It is also easy to trade in an old automobile. Amazon Auto offers a platform for getting a quote from an independent third party. The trade-in value can then be utilized to reduce the cost of the new electric Hyundai.
Hyundai’s intention to offer its EVs on Amazon comes as the demand for electric vehicles rises. The redesigned 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 boasts a range of up to 318 miles. It can be charged from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes thanks to its fast charging capabilities, and it includes a NACS connector that allows owners to use Tesla’s Supercharger network.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 is offered in a variety of trims, each with unique features and price points. The base SE RWD Standard Range model starts at $42,500, while the top-tier Limited Dual Motor AWD model costs $58,100, including the $1,475 destination charge. The all-new XRT variant costs $55,400.
Hyundai’s cooperation with Amazon paves the path for other automakers to implement similar online sales methods. As Amazon expands its automobile program to include more brands and dealerships, it will be interesting to see how it affects the traditional dealership business.
