Hulkenberg battled for the top spot with ART teammate Jules Bianchi throughout the session, but the Frenchman was pipped for a front row start near the end by SG Formula's Yann Clairay.
It was a great session for the series' newest team, with former Carlin Motorsport driver Richard Philippe bagging a season's best fourth position.
It was a bad day for title chaser Edoardo Mortara, and the Signature-Plus man will face a tough test to score points from 15th on the grid. His teammate Robert Wickens was the top VW qualifier in ninth.
Carlin's new Euro Series driver, British F3 title contender Brendon Hartley, had a tough session and lines up 20th, three places ahead of teammate Rodolfo Gonzalez.
Briton Sam Bird was Manor's top man in sixth, while ART's James Jakes was 11th. His teammate Jon Lancaster had a woeful time and will start way back in 21st.
