The cheapest Audi on sale in the United States right now is the 2026 A3 compact sedan, which starts at about $40,000 and comes with a 201-horsepower 4-cylinder engine spinning the front wheels. If you want an electric vehicle, be prepared to stretch your budget closer to $50,000 for a Q4 E-Tron compact crossover. Over in China, you get a lot more car for your buck, or yuan we should say.
