The facelifted 2025 Audi A3 lineup has been detailed for Australia, with just the mild-hybrid 35 TFSI S line making up the non-performance range from launch in “early 2025”.
Prices are up to $54,800 before on-road costs for the Sportback and $57,800 for the Sedan, representing increases of $4200 and $4700 respectively over the outgoing non-S line A3 35 TFSI.
Audi Australia has added a fair bit of standard equipment to compensate, effectively aligning the new entry point with the specification of the outgoing 40 TFSI quattro S line – though the all-wheel drive model hasn’t been renewed for 2025.

Overseas models shown
This extra kit includes heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, a power driver’s seat, and Audi’s virtual cockpit plus 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
The seats, however, are now finished in cloth and leatherette as standard, with leather optional.
While the 40 TFSI doesn’t feature at launch, you can still get a version of the A3 with all-wheel drive in the higher-performance S3, which we’ve covered separately.
