Evolution Auto unveils Auto Direct platform

• Offers a one-stop solution for buying, selling and upgrading from used vehicles

Evolution Auto, the authorised distributor of electric vehicles in Sri Lanka, has launched Auto Direct, a dedicated platform that brings vehicle buying, selling and trade-in services under one roof, offering the Sri Lankan vehicle owners a structured and transparent alternative in a challenging automotive market.  

Because of price uncertainty, shifting market dynamics and reduced buyer confidence, many owners of petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles are finding it increasingly difficult to sell their vehicles. Auto Direct is a direct transaction model that eliminates brokers and intermediaries in order to address these issues. 

The customers can trade in their vehicles to upgrade to a new model, purchase screened pre-owned vehicles or sell the existing vehicles through the platform. Each vehicle offered through Auto Direct goes through a comprehensive inspection procedure that includes market-based valuation, ownership verification and maintenance record validation. 

Evolution Auto Group CEO Virann de Zoyza said, “Compared to a few years ago, the vehicle owners now have to deal with a far more complicated market. Many find it difficult to identify buyers who they can confidently transact with or to get a fair value for their vehicles. To address that issue, Auto Direct was created. The customers can now buy, sell or trade in with more confidence because of our platform’s transparent valuation process, verified vehicles and direct transactions.” 

The customers looking to switch to more advanced vehicle technologies, such as high-end electric vehicles, may do so with ease, thanks to the platform. Through a structured trade-in process, the customers who trade in their current vehicles can upgrade to brands offered by Evolution Auto, such as Avatr, IM Motors, Xpeng, Riddara and KYC.
