Audi Lease Deals Across the Full Range

Audi occupies a useful middle ground. It is premium without being showy, and the interiors tend to feel a step above what the badge costs to lease. That makes it a common landing point for drivers moving up from a mainstream brand, and for company car drivers who want something smart that does not read as extravagant.

The range has changed more in the past two years than in the decade before it, so the sections below are worth a read before you filter the deals above.

Which Audi Should You Lease?

Start with body style rather than badge, because Audi offers several cars at a similar size.

Hatchbacks and saloons

The A3 is the entry point, as a five door Sportback or a saloon. The A5 sits above it and took over from the old A4.

Executive and estate

The A6 is the long distance choice. The A6 Allroad adds raised suspension and cladding for estate space with ground clearance.

Family SUVs

The Q3 suits smaller families, the Q5 is the volume seller, and the Q7 has seven seats adults can use.

Electric

The Q4 e-tron is the family electric SUV, the Q6 e-tron uses Audi's newer electric platform, and the e-tron GT is the flagship.

Coupe styling

The Q8 is the sloping roof take on the large SUV. More presence than a Q7, less headroom in the back.

S and RS models

The RS3 and RS6 are the enthusiast picks, and the RS Q8 applies the same idea to a large SUV.

Petrol, Diesel, Hybrid or Electric

Audi briefly used the model number to signal this, with even numbers for electric and odd numbers for combustion. It has dropped that system after customers and dealers found it unclear, and existing names are staying as they are. So the number tells you about size, not about what drives the wheels.

The badge on the boot is what to read instead. TFSI is petrol, usually with mild hybrid assistance that smooths out town driving without being plugged in. TDI is diesel, still the sensible answer for high motorway mileage in a larger car. TFSI e or e-hybrid is a plug-in hybrid. e-tron means fully electric, and it is now the only reliable electric signal in the range.

Be careful with the plug-in hybrids. They work well if you can charge at home or at work and cover most short trips on electricity. If you cannot charge, you carry the weight of the battery without the benefit, and real world economy suffers for it.

For company car drivers the electric models sit far lower on benefit in kind than the petrol and diesel equivalents, which is why an electric Audi often works out better value overall than the headline figures suggest. Rates change each tax year, so take the current position from your accountant rather than assuming last year's numbers still apply.

Choosing Your Trim

Audi reuses its trim names across the range, so once you know the ladder it applies to almost any model. Sport is the sensible starting point and better equipped than the name suggests. S line is where most people land, adding sharper bumpers, larger alloys, sports seats and a black headlining. Black Edition swaps exterior chrome for gloss black and goes up another wheel size. Edition 1 and Vorsprung sit at the top, with Vorsprung close to fully loaded and often including air suspension.

Here is the practical tip. S line and the trims above it come with lowered sports suspension on bigger wheels. It looks considerably better and it corners more keenly, but the ride is firmer. If comfort matters more to you than kerb appeal, drive a Sport before you commit, and if your heart is set on S line, look for a version offered with adaptive suspension. It is a trade off worth making deliberately rather than discovering later.

One thing worth checking before you compare quotes. Audi is an options led brand, so the better headlights, the upgraded audio and the larger screens often sit on the options list rather than coming as standard. Two cars with the same badge and the same trim can be specified quite differently, so compare the equipment line by line as well as the model name. Our leasing guides explain how to read a quote properly, and we are happy to do that comparison with you.

Audi Leasing FAQs

The A3 is the entry point to the Audi range, so it is usually the most affordable way into the brand. Audi has ended production of the A1 and the Q2, which were previously its two cheapest models, so the range now begins higher than it used to. Electric models can also compare well once company car tax is taken into account, and rates change each tax year.

It means the car is fully electric. Audi previously tried to signal this with even model numbers and has since dropped that idea, so e-tron is now the only reliable indicator that an Audi is electric rather than petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid.

It depends whether you value appearance or ride comfort more. S line adds sharper styling, larger alloy wheels, sports seats and a black headlining, but it also brings lowered sports suspension, which makes the ride firmer on poor surfaces. If comfort matters most, drive a Sport first and compare the two.

The Q7 is the practical one, with seven seats adults can sit in properly. The Q8 shares much of the same engineering but has a sloping coupe roofline, which looks more striking and costs you rear headroom. The Q7 suits families, the Q8 suits drivers who want presence.

Only if you can reliably charge at home or at work. A plug-in hybrid that is charged regularly covers most short journeys on electricity. One that is never plugged in carries the extra weight of the battery without the benefit, and fuel economy suffers as a result.

LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same car.

Yes. Business contract hire is available across the Audi range, and the VAT and accounting treatment differ from a personal agreement. Electric models are usually the most attractive on a business lease because of the benefit in kind position, though rates change each tax year, so take the current figures from your accountant.

You pay an excess mileage charge for every mile above your allowance, at a rate set out in the agreement before you sign. It is worth setting the allowance against your actual mileage over the past year rather than an optimistic estimate, because the charge usually costs more than buying the miles up front would have.
