In the past, buying a new car was all about making a great impression in the showroom. Today, the journey starts well before that and much of it happens online and on mobile. The old mantra of bringing customers to showroom is now changing to bringing your showroom online for the customers. We are delighted to partner with SOUQ.com, the No.1 e-commerce platform in the Arab world to launch this innovative service at commendable pricing.”
Middle East has the highest internet and mobile penetration rates in the world and therefore the increasing rate of moving the car shopping experience online is beginning to mirror that of Western Markets.
