Electric car sales hit new high in 2025
Hungary’s electric car market set another record in 2025, with sales of pure electric passenger cars rising by 28% year-on-year to 11,002 units, according to Datahouse.
The Tesla Model Y remained the country’s best-selling electric car, topping the rankings for a third consecutive year with 1,188 registrations.
Kia’s new EV3 made a strong debut in second place with 699 sales, while Tesla’s Model 3 slipped to third with 634 units after losing momentum over the year.
The BMW iX1 ranked fourth with 493 cars sold, followed by 333 of BYD’s Atto models in fifth place.
At brand level, Tesla narrowly retained first place, just ahead of BYD.
Competition for third position was tight throughout the year, with BMW ultimately edging out Kia.
Overall, the new passenger car market expanded by 6% in 2025 to 129,440 vehicles.
Electric cars accounted for close to 10% of monthly sales in December and 8.5% on average over the year, up from 7% in 2024.
