The small-size store is touted as a tiny six-car showroom that's been divided into several zones to make the browsing experience easier for consumers. With [interactive displays and tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-auto), consumers can appreciate browsing and learning at their leisure, while customer service duties are relieved from onsite staff. In addition to the six-bay workshop, the lot also contains a forecourt with 60 used cars. Soon, RMB Automotive has plans to open a second dealership in partnership with Renault and [Dacia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car) by the end of this year. Since the experience of shopping for a car can be extremely intimidating, this small space provides the best of both worlds with assistance from technology and staff. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Small-sized Showrooms:** The emergence of small-sized showrooms offers opportunities for intimate customer experience with the use of technology. - **Interactive Displays:** Interactive displays in showrooms offer customers an engaging buying experience with the potential to upsell products. - **Partnerships and Collaborations:** Partnerships and collaborations within the automotive industry provide opportunities for wider brand reach and innovation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Innovative showrooms and personalized shopping experiences have the potential to disrupt the traditional automotive sales process. - **Retail:** Short-term leasing or renting of small showrooms within retail spaces can provide new revenue streams for property owners. - **Technology:** The integration of technology within automotive showrooms provides opportunities for more personalized product recommendations and interactive buying experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Centric Automotive Retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-kelowna.md) - [Automotive Parking Lot Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parking-lot-pop-up.md) - [Inviting Contemporary Auto Dealerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rivians-spaces.md) - [Futuristic Auto Micro Factories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-micro-factory.md) - [Panoramic In-Car Lounge Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-4l.md) - [Electric Five-Door Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fivedoor-cars.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Efficient Micro Mobility EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-etech-electric-prototype.md) - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md)
