2021 Audi A3 Price Guide

The 2021 Audi A3 holds a strong position in the European used car market as a premium compact hatchback/sedan with robust demand due to its refined driving dynamics, quality interior, and tech features. Popular variants like the 1.5 TFSI S Line (gasoline, ~150hp, automatic) and 30/35 TDI (diesel) dominate listings on sites like theparking.eu, AutoScout24, and Luxauto, with prices reflecting mileage between 30,000-125,000 km. Current pricing trends show stability with slight softening in high-mileage examples amid rising interest in hybrids (40 TFSIe), though 2021 models remain 20-30% below original MSRP of ~€32,000-€40,000. Demand is high in Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands, supported by strong resale values and fleet returns.

2021 Audi A3 models have depreciated at ~12-15% annually from a new price of €32k-€38k, retaining ~65% value after 5 years due to premium branding and low mileage availability. Diesel variants hold better (10% annual) than petrol (14%), with S Line trims slowest to drop. Post-2022 chip shortages slowed supply, stabilizing used prices; expect continued mild depreciation as 2026 models flood in.

Used 2021 A3 prices likely to dip 5-8% in 2026 as more low-mile ex-leases enter via AutoScout24/mobile.de, pressured by new A3 Allstreet hybrids. Strong premium demand and Euro 7 compliance will support floors, especially diesels in rural markets. Hybrids may premiumize faster amid EV pushback.
