2020 Audi A3 (4th Generation)

Audi A3 (2025) Price & Specs

The facelifted Audi A3 has arrived in South Africa, again offered in Sportback and Sedan guise (though as part of a dramatically rationalised range). Here’s what they cost…

The facelifted Audi A3 Sportback and A3 Sedan have touched down in South Africa, with the Ingolstadt-based firm’s local division rationalising the local line-up to just 4 derivatives (initially, at least).

Of course, as it announced late in 2024, Audi South Africa plans to expand its updated A3 portfolio with the launch of “sportier derivatives” at some point later in 2025. But, for now, just a quartet of 35 TFSI variants make up the refreshed 8Y-series range.

So, while the pre-facelift line-up comprised as many as 12 derivatives (including base and mid-tier versions of the 35 TFSI as well as the 40 TFSI powertrain), the refreshed range is made up of high-spec 35 TFSI “S line” and “Black Edition” variants, in 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan forms.

With the A3 Sportback 35 TFSI S line priced from R808 200, the range’s entry point rises by a considerable R126 100. The A3 Sportback 35 TFSI Black Edition costs R834 500. Meanwhile, the A3 Sedan 35 TFSI S line comes in from R823 200, with the A3 Sedan 35 TFSI Black Edition topping the range – for the time being, at least – at R849 500.

How much does the facelifted Audi A3 cost in SA?

Significant price hike for facelifted Audi A3 as order books open for South Africa

The facelifted Audi A3 Sportback and Sedan models, as well as their fire-breathing RS 3 counterparts, are heading our way soon with a fresh look and enhanced equipment.

With the order books now open for South Africa, it is evident that the A3 has taken a step upmarket, with pricing starting at R808,200 for the 1.4 TFSI S Line Sportback and R823,200 for the Sedan equivalent. Audi is also offering a pair of Black Edition models, priced at R834,500 and R849,500 respectively.

This raises the entry price of the range significantly, given that the standard spec level, which now falls away, previously started at R682,100, but even the S Line has risen significantly from its previous R722,100 starting price.
