Amazon Expands Car Sales to Kia, Mazda, Subaru, Chevrolet, and Jeep

SAN FRANCISCO. Amazon has expanded its Amazon Autos program to include vehicles from Kia, Mazda, Subaru, Chevrolet, and Jeep, building on its initial launch with Hyundai. The e-commerce giant now offers new cars from these manufacturers in more than 130 U.S. cities. The expansion marks Amazon's deepening push into automotive retail, a sector the company entered last year with its Hyundai partnership. Customers can now browse and purchase vehicles from multiple major brands directly through Amazon's platform, including high-end models like the Chevrolet Corvette. Amazon Autos functions as a digital showroom where shoppers can compare prices, select options, and arrange financing before finalizing purchases with local dealerships. The service aims to streamline the traditionally cumbersome car-buying process. The company's move into auto sales pits it against established online car retailers and traditional dealerships. Industry analysts say Amazon's logistics expertise and massive customer base could disrupt the $1.2 trillion U.S. auto market. Amazon did not disclose sales figures for the program or specify which additional markets may gain access next. The expansion comes as automakers increasingly explore direct-to-consumer sales models, though most still rely heavily on franchised dealer networks. The Wall Street Journal first reported the expansion.
