Amazon has moved beyond books and electronics-the retail giant now lets shoppers buy a car with the same click-driven ease as ordering household staples. The new Amazon Autos storefront hosts thousands of vehicles, from a 2025 Hyundai Elantra hybrid sedan to a 2020 Chevrolet Trax crossover SUV.

How the Online Car Buying Works

The process mirrors Amazon’s classic checkout flow with a few extra steps:

  • Browse listings filtered by make, model, year, price, and location
  • Choose payment: finance, lease, pay in full, or cash
  • Add trade-in details for an instant offer on a current vehicle
  • Apply manufacturer rebates automatically surfaced by the system
  • Select protection plans backed by the automaker, not Amazon
  • Enter contact info and upload a driver’s license plus proof of insurance
  • Schedule pickup at a nearby dealership; payment is processed online

A Sophia A. Reynolds test-run found the experience “almost as easy as snagging a new matching set and winter boots,” noting the only real friction was additional paperwork.
