Most expensive compact cars
Top 23 most expensive compact and sub-compact cars. Updated August 2025.
Compact and sub-compact cars are often cheapest thanks to reduced complexity and size.
Since the advent of high performance all wheel drive "hot hatch" (Mercedes A45 AMG, VW Golf R, Ford Focus RS etc), we have seen compact hatch backs quickly elevate in price and most exotic examples like the Renault Megane RS Trophy now cost almost 100000 Euros.
