Audi A3-E-Tron keeps an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #253 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi A3-E-Tron retains an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #253 of 684 cars we track. That is 8 points above the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Audi A3-E-Tron sheds about 7% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $39,500 it falls to around $25,082 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,418, about $7.90 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Audi A3-E-Tron bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
