For decades, the car buying experience has largely remained the same: visit a dealership, walk the lot, sit in a few models, and talk to a salesperson. While the physical experience remains crucial, the modern buyer’s journey now starts overwhelmingly online. In this digital-first era, automotive dealerships and manufacturers face a new challenge: how to bring the showroom experience to the customer, wherever they are.
Ziara’s immersive virtual tours are the answer, transforming the traditional automotive showroom into an interactive, 24/7 digital experience that drives engagement and accelerates sales.
The Roadblocks of Traditional Automotive Sales
- Limited Online Experience: Static photos and basic video walk-arounds can’t convey the true feel, space, or features of a vehicle.
- Geographical Constraints: Customers might be interested in a specific model but live too far to visit the dealership easily.
- Time-Consuming Process: Multiple physical visits can be a barrier for busy buyers.
- Difficulty in Highlighting Customization: Showing all available trims, colors, and features in a physical space is impractical.
Ziara’s Virtual Showroom: The Future of Car Buying
Our advanced virtual tour platform empowers the automotive industry to overcome these challenges, creating a seamless and engaging pre-purchase journey:
- Immersive Vehicle Exploration (24/7):
- Detailed Interior/Exterior Views: Allow customers to “sit” inside a car, explore the dashboard, examine upholstery, and view the vehicle from every angle, as if they were physically there.
- Highlight Key Features: Use Interactive Points of Interest (POIs) to showcase engine specs, infotainment systems, safety features, and unique design elements with detailed text, videos, and even audio explanations.
- Multiple Models & Trims: Virtually display your entire inventory, including different trims, color options, and add-on packages that might not be physically present on the lot.
- Real-Time Engagement with Live Sessions:
- Bring the salesperson into the virtual showroom! With Real-Time Collaboration (Live Sessions), a sales associate can guide a client through a vehicle, answering questions instantly via integrated video and chat. It’s a personalized, guided tour, just like being on the lot, but from the comfort of anywhere.
- Seamless Customization and Configuration:
- Imagine a customer virtually exploring an SUV and, with a click, changing its exterior color, wheel design, or interior trim. While not a full configurator, Ziara’s tours can dynamically showcase different variations and upgrade options to help buyers visualize their perfect vehicle.
- Integrated Commerce & Call-to-Action:
- Ziara’s Virtual Tour Commerce (Built-In Shop) capabilities mean you can directly link to financing options, reservation pages, or even allow customers to “build and price” a specific model.
- Direct calls-to-action like “Schedule a Test Drive,” “Get a Quote,” or “Contact Sales” can be embedded directly within the tour, moving customers effortlessly from interest to action.
- Global Reach and Accessibility:
- Whether you’re targeting local buyers or expanding to regional and international markets, Ziara’s virtual showrooms provide unparalleled accessibility, breaking down geographical barriers and reaching a wider audience.
