Millions of dollars worth of luxury vehicles are spearheading a revolutionary change in the way Australians shop for new cars.
Indooroopilly Shopping Centre in Brisbane’s western corridor, opened Automall West precinct on Tuesday in a development that has been backed by car retailing giant Eagers Automotive.

display and allow for test drives from the carpark.
Indooroopilly Shopping Centre manager Steven Ihm said it was a “whole new way to shop”.
“Now you can shop for a new SUV, as well as an outfit for the weekend,” he said,
“We’ve taken eight top car brands and integrated them into the shopping centre experience
as another way to elevate our shopping offer and disrupt the industry.
“Automall West is for the entire family featuring a children’s playground and cafe.”

Eagers Automotive will also have a state-of-the-art presence in the city’s east with its AutoMall Brisbane which is on track to open in 2024 at the airport.
Meanwhile co-owner Commonwealth Super Corporation has put up its $600m plus 50 per cent share of Indooroopilly Shopping Centre on the market.
