In the first half of 2025, the AUTO1 Group price index increased by 5.1%, changing from 135.2 in January to 142.1 in June. This steady upward trend reflects the high demand and resilient used car market across Europe. After a dynamic start to the year with significant price increases from January to April, used car prices have remained stable since May. In June 2025, secondary market prices remained unchanged with a slight increase of 0.4% compared to the previous month. Year-on-year, used car prices increased by 2.8% compared to June 2024.
Prices for gasoline cars increased in the first half of 2025, and electric cars are significantly cheaper than a year ago.
Prices for gasoline cars have increased by 7.4% since the beginning of the year, followed by diesel cars, whose prices have increased by 2.2% since January. Hybrid and electric cars have remained relatively stable, with some fluctuations since January.

As demand for petrol cars increases, prices have increased by more than 8% year-on-year, while prices for used electric cars have decreased significantly compared to last year," said Moritz Lück, Senior Vice President Sales and Operations at AUTO1 Group.
