The A3 in the used market
The A3 is the premium hatch formula at its most conventional, and its used prices stay firm because it's the default trade-up from a Golf. The 8V generation (2012–2020) covers most of the market — Saloon versions carry a small premium over the Sportback. The cheapest cars are early 1.4 TFSIs and diesels; the S3 sits in its own faster-appreciating world.

Audi A3 price by year

Value sweet spot: 2019. A 2019 Audi A3 averages £13,423 — 15.6% less than a 2020 — the biggest one-year price drop on this model. Drops this size usually sit where a model changes generation, so the saving buys the outgoing shape — check which body style the year gets you before assuming it’s the same car.
