SEATTLE: Amazon on Thursday announced Amazon Vehicles, a car research destination and automotive community that hopes to make it easy for customers to get the information they need when shopping for vehicles, parts, and accessories.

With Amazon Vehicles, customers can now view specifications, images, videos, and customer reviews for thousands of new and classic car models on Amazon.com, including everything from the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2014 Tesla Model S to the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette and 1965 Ford Mustang.

“Our goal is to support customers during one of the most important, research-intensive purchases in their lives by helping them make informed decisions every step of the way,” said Adam Goetsch, Director of Automotive at Amazon.com. “Amazon Vehicles is a great resource for customers who are interested in car information or looking for a broad selection of parts and accessories – all enhanced by the ability to tap into the knowledge, opinions, and experiences of other car owners within the Amazon customer community.”

Some of the key Amazon Vehicles features are a comprehensive database of specifications, images, videos, and customer reviews. It also serves as a one-stop shop for parts and accessories.
