Hyundai customers will be able to purchase a new Hyundai entirely over the internet from next year, including arranging finance, when the manufacturer launches ‘Click to Buy’ on 6th January.
The site will also feature fixed pricing, removing the need or ability to haggle, trade-in prices for old cars, a new car configurator, and the ability to pay the finance deposit from a laptop, pc or mobile device.
Assuming finance is used, purchases are completed online, after which an appointment is made for the customer to take any trade-in to their dealer, sign any legal documents and pick up the new vehicles all at once. Participating dealers will be open in evenings and at weekends, as well.
For those buying with cash, Hyundai said it will be possible to have the car delivered to them for a price, with collection of a trade-in at the same time.
Although this home delivery functionality is also available for customers buying through finance, the actual finance paperwork will need to be signed on a dealership premises.
Initially Click to Buy will feature the i10, i20, i30, Tuscon and Santa Fe models, but Hyundai sad more models will be added throughout 2017.
