To mark its one year anniversary, Carmudi.com, Nigeria’s online car classified, unveiled its redesigned website with a new online user experience on multiple devices.

Hosting over 43,000 vehicles online in Nigeria and 230,000 globally, Carmudi said its new website has made online car shopping simpler and faster.

The new website comes with various new features including a compare feature which allows users to effectively view and compare two or more cars. As you click on the ‘park and compare’ option below  your  shortlisted  car,  your  car  is automatically saved in ‘My Garage’. The new feature would show  your  findings with car  specifications such as make, model, transmission, engine type, fuel, etc. on a single page giving you a bird’s eye view before you toss  your  choices.

The website users can now experience a highly personalized experience which allows  car  buyers to choose their wheels based on not just the conventional choices of price, mileage, colour or brand type, but also lifestyle in three steps.

Global Managing Director of Carmudi, Stefan Haubold said, “The idea is to make the users feel as if they were interacting with a salesman who shows them around as per their specific needs and desires.” He said, “Save the fact that there is no constant pestering to make the purchase instantly, you can relax in  your  living room as you cruise through different  car  showrooms virtually on Carmudi. The sharing option is also one of my favorite as it allows you share your searches and also allows your friends comment on your potential purchase.”

Also speaking, Managing Director of Carmudi Nigeria, Christian Keller, said, “We are dedicated to ensuring that users have a great Carmudi experience. With the new website, I can say we have been able to do that as users now enjoy an easier and faster experience.”
