Hyundai Model Stands Out Among the Most Sold Used Cars in the Country in 2025, Driven by Efficient Engine, Competitive Maintenance Cost, and Wide Offer of Versions, According to Data from Associations and Industry Specialists.
The Hyundai HB20 ended October 2025 as the fourth most sought-after used car in the country, according to a survey by automotive sector associations.
The performance confirms the strength of the hatchback in the used and semi-new market, driven by efficient mechanical sets and competitive usage costs, factors cited by dealers and experts as determining for the model’s good acceptance.
According to data from sector entities, 1,765,539 used cars and light commercial vehicles were negotiated in Brazil in October, a rise of 4% compared to September.

In the cumulative total for 2025, the number reached 15,244,066 units, and projections indicate that the historical mark from 2024 — 15.7 million vehicles — should be surpassed in November.
In this context, the HB20 maintained its 4th position in the monthly ranking, indicating stable demand and rapid stock replenishment, according to dealers’ analysis.
Growing Used Car Market
Experts point out that the appreciation of used and semi-new vehicles results from the combination of automotive inflation and lower supply of new vehicles in some price ranges.
In this scenario, models with predictable maintenance and reduced fuel consumption maintain greater liquidity, such as the HB20.
The Hyundai hatch is offered in different versions, with a 1.0 naturally aspirated engine — recommended for those prioritizing economy and simplicity — and with the 1.0 turbo TGDI, aimed at those seeking superior performance in urban and highway use.
The transmission options manual or 6-speed automatic, depending on the year and configuration, broaden the model’s appeal to different audiences.
In market evaluations, dealers highlight low fuel consumption as a decisive factor for purchasing.
According to dealerships specializing in used cars, the urban averages presented by the HB20 are among the most competitive in the segment, reinforcing its cost-benefit appeal.
Safety and Technology Equipment
In recent years, the HB20 has incorporated safety features that have made it more attractive among recent used cars.
Various versions come with stability and traction control, hill start assist, ISOFIX anchorage, and multiple airbags.
According to automotive consultants, these items, previously restricted to higher categories, have begun to directly influence resale value.
In terms of technology, more equipped versions include multimedia system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and 8-inch screen, features that, according to industry specialists, have become almost mandatory for the current consumer.
The trunk of approximately 300 liters and the suspension tuned for Brazilian roads are cited by workshops and owners as characteristics that favor daily use.
Maintenance Costs and Assistance Network
Another point contributing to the HB20’s position among the best sellers is its ownership cost.
Hyundai maintains fixed-price inspections, which facilitates expense planning and increases maintenance predictability.
Access to parts and the nationwide dealer network are also frequently pointed out by experts as factors that reduce the perceived risk for used car buyers.
Studies by insurance brokers show that the average insurance and IPVA cost for the HB20 tends to remain at levels similar to or lower than those of direct competitors, such as Chevrolet Onix and Volkswagen Gol, reinforcing its competitiveness within the segment.
Sales Profile by Usage Time
The numbers for October indicate that vehicles 13 years or older continue to dominate the used car market, with 38.3% of sales (689,733 units).
Next are young used cars, aged 4 to 8 years (24.7%), and mature used cars, aged 9 to 12 years (21.6%).
Semi-new vehicles, up to 3 years old, accounted for 15.3% of transactions.
The HB20 is present in all these segments.
Launched in the country in 2012, the model has established a substantial base of units in the market, which enhances its availability among the older vehicles.
In the most recent versions, advancements in safety and connectivity reinforce its attractiveness among semi-new cars, according to analyses by industry consultants.
Ranking of Most Negotiated Used Cars in October 2025
According to data from the National Federation of Automotive Vehicle Dealers (Fenauto), the Volkswagen Gol maintained the lead with 76,597 units sold.
Next came the Chevrolet Onix (43,288) and the Fiat Strada (41,798).
The Hyundai HB20 recorded 41,038 units, securing fourth place.
The list continues with Fiat Palio (39,211), Fiat Uno (39,204), Toyota Corolla (30,258), Ford Ka (28,516), Ford Fiesta (26,995), and Volkswagen Saveiro (25,014).
According to Fenauto, the most negotiated models are those with a large supply of parts and a known maintenance history, which facilitates assessment by dealers and buyers and reduces the average time for resale.
Evaluation and Buyer Profile
Automotive market experts assert that the purchasing decision in the used car segment revolves around three main pillars: consumption, maintenance, and safety.
The HB20 meets these criteria with modern mechanical sets and equipment packages that vary according to the year and version.
According to dealerships, the diversity of configurations and the stable resale price favor demand from both consumers looking for an economic urban car and those seeking more performance without sacrificing efficiency.
The model is also cited by technical consultants as a balanced option for daily use.
Handling, comfort, and dynamic behavior, according to independent evaluations, are average within the segment of compact hatchbacks.
Choices Within the HB20 Line
The decision between the 1.0 naturally aspirated or 1.0 turbo versions depends on the usage profile.
The naturally aspirated version tends to attract those seeking the lowest cost per kilometer driven, while the turbo version is sought by drivers wanting better acceleration response and greater comfort with automatic transmission.
Dealers emphasize that the maintenance history and the overall condition of the vehicle tend to influence the purchase price more than the engine’s power alone.
