The number of inquiries measured on Használtautó.hu rose to 385,400 in June from 366,500 in the same month a year earlier, an increase of almost 19,000, the data show.
The average asking price of advertised vehicles also edged higher, rising to HUF 5.5 million from HUF 5.4 mln a year earlier.
Használtautó.hu said the higher average price was accompanied by an improvement in the quality of supply. The average mileage of advertised vehicles fell to 171,400 km from 179,400 km, while their average age declined to 12.60 years from 13.15 years.
Vehicles priced below HUF 2.5 mln continued to account for more than one-third of supply, at 35.7%. However, their share fell by 4.6 percentage points in one year, while the HUF 2.5 mln-10 mln segment continued to strengthen.
The number of hybrid models advertised on Használtautó.hu rose 42.2% year-on-year in June, marking a sharp expansion in supply.
Interest in hybrids also increased strongly, with inquiries up 57% compared with the same period of 2025. Használtautó.hu said the figures suggest potential buyers responded positively to the broader hybrid selection.
Gasoline-powered vehicles nevertheless continued to dominate the market, accounting for almost half, or 48%, of supply. Inquiries for gasoline models also rose sharply in June, increasing by more than 14,000 year-on-year to 206,200.
Diesel vehicles, by contrast, continued to gradually lose ground compared with their earlier position on the market, according to the data.
Volkswagen remained the most frequently advertised brand in June, followed by BMW and Ford. Opel moved ahead of Mercedes-Benz to take fourth place, while Skoda climbed to seventh, overtaking Toyota.
At the model level, the Skoda Octavia moved into first place over the past year, overtaking the Ford Focus. The Kia Ceed also moved ahead of the Suzuki Swift to take fourth place.
Toyota models advanced strongly in the rankings. The Corolla moved up to ninth place from 15th, while the Yaris climbed to 10th from 14th among the most popular advertised models.
The Suzuki Swift remained the cheapest model in the top 10, with an average asking price of HUF 1.94 mln. However, it also recorded the steepest price increase among the listed models, with its average advertised price rising 16.9% in one year.
The figures also show that popular models are becoming younger on average. Almost all models in the top list recorded a decline in average age, with the Skoda Octavia posting the largest improvement, as its average age fell 11.8%.
