AutoWeb announced the launch of its free vehicle search engine on Tuesday, outlining its aim at helping car shoppers decide which vehicle is right for them based on their desired search criteria.

Available search criteria on the site ranges widely, catering to both the budget-conscious to the highest possible end of the spectrum, and everywhere in between.

Users can search based on desired monthly payments, vehicle types, makes, models, total MSRPs and expected MPG ranges. The interface also allows the sharing of user favorites across multiple social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter.

If the user chooses, he or she can request a quote on a vehicle and the site will help the customer get in touch with a dealer.

“With 64 percent of consumers using online search engines to find a car, we pride ourselves on making the experience as convenient and intuitive as possible,” said Charlie Schiavone, AutoWeb’s general manager of product. “Our users find the car that best suits them, share it with friends and have fun searching for their new car in a way that, until AutoWeb, hasn’t been possible.”

AutoWeb expects to add used-vehicle searches by the end of late January, as well as auto news, industry trend information and vehicle reviews.

“Our content will be focused on bringing car shoppers real reviews by a team of professional automotive journalists to help consumers make a better purchasing decision after they used the AutoWeb search engine,” said Michael Harley, AutoWeb’s editor-in-chief.
