The urban digital car dealership

In 2012, Audi launched a next generation of car dealerships in London to be closer to an increasingly urban customer base.

The Concept

Le concept

This car dealership with a small footprint (roughly 500 m2) has been designed to be as close as possible to urban consumers. It features numerous interactive screens on which one can access the entire Audi range. The screens have replaced the showroom vehicles usually found in a dealership. The staff use the digital tech to customize one’s vehicle and visualize it. It is dedicated to customer advice and relations. Audi City in London should become the preferred point of contact for Audi customers and make the link between online, where the customer experience often begins, and offline.

To do during the visit
