Transforming the way people purchase cars.

Challenge

After Code d’Azur created an AI powered showroom to introduce the all new Lotus Eletre. It was my task to redesign the configurator optimized for the new model.

Problem

The start of the purchase funnel was redesigned, but the buying proces was not optimised. The configurator needed a redesign.

Goal

A new configurator to guide user to their custom configurated Lotus Eletre, and providing a exclusive buying proces.

The Personal Showroom made by Code d'Azur

Process

The ideal customer-journey combines target-audience understanding, ease in use, and brand experience.

To understand both ends of the market, I began by interviewing customer-journey experts at luxury car dealerships to learn how premium brands guide their buyers.

For a complete perspective, I also spoke with Lotus and other EV drivers about their past buying experiences and how the digital journey could be improved.

The research gave the perfect introduction into designing something that really worked for the target-audience.

Key insights

Discovery over conversion

About

The configurator is an early touchpoint focused on exploration, pricing, and fit rather than conversion. This is a strategic choice: the goal was not conversion, but exploration.

Literal key insight

About

After interviewing the first Dutch Eletre driver, he showed me the Lotus key: no keychain hole, making it easy to lose and feeling like a plastic stone. Not the ideal user experienve.

Preventing confusion

About

Users could see compatibility constraints while making a selection, preventing confusion and eliminating the need for error pop-ups caused by later configuration conflicts.

Solution

The research gave the perfect introduction into designing something that really worked for the target-audience.
