AUTOHERO SEVILLA

What AUTOHERO SEVILLA does

Autohero Plus Spain S.L., operating under the "Autohero" brand, is the Spanish subsidiary of the Autohero Group, itself part of the Berlin-based Auto1 Group. Its functional role is to retail inspected, reconditioned used vehicles to individual consumers in Spain through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform accessible via autohero.com and native iOS/Android applications. Every vehicle is subjected to a standardized quality inspection and reconditioning process before listing and is sold with a 12-month warranty, a 21-day money-back guarantee, and optional extended coverage. The product surface spans vehicle search and filtering (by body type, brand, price band up to €30,000+), financing pre-approval without credit-history impact, trade-in valuation, direct car-purchase ("Vende tu coche"), and door-to-door delivery.

Underlying technology comprises a web-based e-commerce storefront with native mobile clients, a financing pre-approval workflow, an online trade-in valuation tool, and warranty management and delivery-tracking modules. Distribution is hybrid: a nationwide digital storefront is supplemented by physical showrooms in five major Spanish cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Alicante). No API, SDK, or third-party developer integrations are disclosed.

The business model is direct vehicle resale (one-time transaction revenue per unit) complemented by transaction-based financing revenue. Pricing is unit-level and varies by make, model, year, mileage, and condition; inventory is organized into price brackets up to €15,000, €20,000, €25,000, €30,000, and above €30,000. Go-to-market is digital-first (SEO, paid social, content hub, email, mobile-app ASO) layered with brand-ambassador-driven earned media (Carlos Latre) and physical retail presence. The sole disclosed customer segment is individual car buyers in Spain seeking warranty-backed used vehicles, with use cases spanning first-time purchase, upgrade, trade-in, and financed acquisition. No B2B or fleet customer base is disclosed.
