A decade ago, no one cared about these websites but now, people are ready to buy a car online.

Car companies in India are very active now. Buying a car has become a necessity for many now. Along with customer experience in a car dealership, nowadays, car companies are also making sure that their websites are excellent in terms of user experience.

10 years ago, no one cared about these car companies' websites but now people are ready to buy a car from a website. So for achieving this, car companies are ensuring that their websites are as good as their cars.

The car websites

Audi: The website is very smooth and has tons of information about their cars and is modern too.

BMW: Very smooth website, has tons of information and has a virtual experience too.

Lexus: Decent website, gives information about their cars in detail.

MG: A good website with excellent configurators but a bit laggy.

KIA: One of the best websites of car companies in India.

BYD: Nice website and it is very smooth and responsive. Good amount of information is present too.
