General Motors to accept bookings for Trailblazer on Amazon

Following in the footsteps of other carmakers, General Motors has decided to unveil the upcoming Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV on an online marketplace. The company has announced that it will list the details of the SUV on Amazon.in from October 14, 2015. The car will be launched on October 21.

Bookings for the vehicle will open on the date of the launch and interested customers can book their car either through the e-commerce website or at the company's dealerships. The booking amount has been set at Rs. 25,000. The company will stop accepting bookings through Amazon.in from October 26. Vehicle deliveries will take place through dealerships.

General Motors is looking to capitalise on the growing popularity of e-commerce websites in India. Last year, Mahindra tied up with Snapdeal.com for the Scorpio. Two-wheeler major Hero MotoCorp has also tied up with Snapdeal for bookings of its products.

The Trailblazer will be General Motors' rival for the Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuner. It is expected to be priced at Rs. 25-30 lakh.
