The customer will have at his disposal a complete experience of product discovery, visual representation, guidance, product information, deal-making and transaction execution.
• Virtual Reality Zone – This is an immersive experience powered by the HTC Vive system with motion sensors allowing the customer to experience the vehicle in a virtual environment and experience it like never before.
