Hot hatch prices.
38 model generations · 14 makers · median asking · Germany baseline · EUR · September 2026
What this segment covers
Front- and four-wheel-drive hot hatches from the Mk2 Golf GTI 16V to the current Civic Type R FL5, Golf R Mk8 and Audi RS 3 8Y: five Civic Type R generations, seven fast Golfs and the Scirocco R, Focus and Fiesta in ST and RS form, Mégane and Clio R.S., 208 GTi and 306 GTI-6, Mini Cooper S, JCW and GP, the i20 N and i30 N, the GR Yaris, the Swift Sport and the A 45 S. It is the cheapest segment in the index, with several cars under ten thousand euros, and the one where the newest cars are still losing value while the older favourites climb.
The September 2026 check
21 of the segment's 38 figures were re-checked against live AutoScout24 Germany asking prices on 1 September 2026 and held. 3 came back out of line. Counting live asks that sit above the published figure, the index reads high on the Mini Cooper S R53 (8 of 36), the Ford Fiesta ST Mk7 (1 of 24) and the Volkswagen Golf R Mk7.5 (25 of 92). 14 could not be read on a consistent basis, either because Germany carries fewer than ten examples or because the trim cannot be separated from a broader model population, and were carried unchanged. No hot hatch price moved this month; the method is in the September 2026 market note.
