Toyota and Lexus have teamed up with Amazon to launch new online stores which aim to harness the convenience of online shopping for their customers.

The Japanese car brands revealed the “open all hours” concept, selling both parts and accessories for both current and recent models.

Asked whether vehicles would be sold via the platform in a development of the new partnership with the global online retail giant, a spokesman for the brands said: “Not at this stage”.

A statement issued by Toyota and Lexus this morning said that the new Amazon stores would be building on their initial inventory and would eventually offer thousands of different items, ranging from brake pads and wiper blades to boot liners, roof bars and carpet mats.

Rob Giles, Toyota (GB) customer services director, said: “We are always looking at how we can improve our service to customers, which includes making it easy and convenient for them to obtain the items they want for their vehicle whenever they need them and wherever they are.
