Audi e-tron GT Leasing

Your Audi e-tron GT leasing decision

Intelligent Vehicle Finance helps you compare Audi e-tron GT business and personal leasing around the quattro or S derivative, charging routine and passenger needs. This electric grand tourer shares neither its specification nor its quotation with the separate RS model. Confirm the exact car before comparing contract hire costs.

Audi e-tron GT business lease: choose the touring brief

The e-tron GT makes sense when you want an electric car with the stance and driving position of a grand tourer, and you are prepared to organise charging around longer journeys. We would begin with where you park and who travels with you, before moving to the more powerful derivative. A striking shape cannot solve an awkward home charging arrangement or a rear seat that does not work for your passengers.

It is a less natural choice if you need high seating, frequent loading of bulky items or easy access for passengers with restricted movement. Try getting into both rows in the clothes you normally wear and put your own bags through the boot opening. Our view is that a grand tourer should remove effort from the journeys you enjoy, not make everyday loading a negotiation.

Audi e-tron GT leasing: key facts

• Audi UK lists 503 PS for the current e-tron GT quattro, with 584 PS available under its launch-control conditions; these are different power measures.
• The current quattro reference has 97 kWh net battery capacity. IVF labels the captured quattro and S entries 105 kWh; gross and usable capacities are not interchangeable.
• Audi UK gives the current quattro a maximum DC charging capability of 320 kW. This is a compatible-charger benchmark, not sustained power or a promise for every listed car.
• Audi quotes 4.0 seconds from 0-62 mph for the current e-tron GT quattro reference. Do not transfer that result to the S or a different model year.
• IVF’s September catalogue contains quattro and S Saloon descriptions, including Tech Pack, Tech Pack Pro and Vorsprung variants.
• GOV.UK: zero-emission company-car BiK is 4% in 2026/27, rising to 9% in 2029/30.

Compare the Audi e-tron GT options

Quattro, S and RS are separate choices

The live IVF page checked in September lists the 370 kW quattro and the 435 kW S, both with 105 kWh in their catalogue descriptions. Quattro entries include the standard description, Tech Pack, Tech Pack Pro and Vorsprung. The S appears with standard, Tech Pack Pro and Vorsprung descriptions. These labels are a map of the captured catalogue, not a statement that each specification can be supplied now.

Ask for the complete derivative wording and equipment schedule. A package name alone does not tell you whether the particular seat, assistance feature or charging equipment you need is fitted. Distinguish equipment which is physically installed from a connected service with its own activation period. If a feature matters enough to decide the car, put it in the written vehicle brief.

The RS e-tron GT has its own IVF route. An enquiry containing RS should be directed there, rather than priced as an S because both are faster versions of the same family. Similarly, the Porsche Taycan is an alternative electric touring proposition, not a source of transferable Audi range, equipment or charging figures. Use the comparison to choose the right enquiry, then compare the exact offered cars.

Treat charging capability as a journey tool

Audi’s current quattro battery reference distinguishes net capacity from the larger figure in the catalogue. That distinction matters when estimating usable energy between stops. It does not give a ready-made motorway range. Wheel specification, temperature, speed, heating and the charge level you retain as a reserve all affect the distance you can sensibly plan between charging opportunities.

The quoted DC maximum in the facts panel concerns the current quattro under suitable conditions. Ask IVF to confirm that the offered car matches that battery and charging specification. A public charger’s label is not a promise of power throughout the session; battery temperature, starting charge, charger capability and site conditions can constrain it. Plan a realistic stop with a fallback site, particularly where you must arrive at a fixed appointment time.

At home, work backwards from the hours the car normally sits parked. Check the property’s electrical installation, cable route and permissions before treating a home charger as settled. If you share a driveway, consider whether another vehicle will block access when you return late. A straightforward overnight routine can matter more than the fastest advertised charging result.

Ask which cables come with the car, whether the relevant charging services require a separate subscription and how accounts are transferred or closed when the lease ends. Keep a record of business and private charging where your accountant needs it. Charging provision, electricity and a maintenance package are different items; one should never be assumed to include the others.

Choose the equipment you will use on ordinary roads

A test drive should include the surfaces and manoeuvres that make up your real week. Try a narrow parking space, a familiar speed hump and a stretch of uneven road. Assess visibility over the shoulders, the effort of parking and the seat position after more than a brief drive. Check whether the chosen wheels and suspension settings suit the comfort you expect from a touring car.

Bring your regular front passenger and ask them to judge their own seating position. If adults use the rear, check headroom, foot space and entry separately from the impression of cabin width. A specification which works for two people and soft weekend bags may be the wrong answer for repeated airport trips with four adults and hard cases.

What changes an e-tron GT lease quotation?

A meaningful e-tron GT lease-price comparison uses the same quattro or S version, equipment, contract length, annual mileage and initial rental basis. Changing any of those can change the rental without making one proposal better for your needs. Ask whether maintenance is included, what it covers and how the funder deals with vehicle-tax changes during the term.

For business use, compare the company’s hire cost with the driver’s separate company-car tax position. A lower BiK percentage does not make the vehicle free to use, and personal tax depends on more than the rental. Include electricity, insurance and the likely pattern of public charging in your household or business budget.

If the car must replace an existing vehicle at a particular point, tell IVF the date and any flexibility. Confirm the proposed vehicle and timing in writing before making commitments around it. Catalogue presence is only the start of that conversation; the quotation should identify the specific car and the responsibilities which remain with you.

Audi e-tron GT company-car tax across the lease

An e-tron GT company-car decision combines an electric BiK percentage with a substantial P11D value. Keep the driver’s tax calculation separate from the company’s quotation, and review every tax year the agreement will cover.

Private-use tax generally starts with P11D value multiplied by the annual BiK percentage, then your income tax rate. That percentage does not apply to the rental. Sole-trader business use follows different rules.

Use our company-car BiK guide alongside HMRC’s 2026/27 and 2027/28 tables and the published 2028/29 and 2029/30 changes. Tax information checked 24 September 2026 against the C1 ledger and its primary sources. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change; consult your accountant.

Road tax and costs across the term

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). For this electric GT, 2026/27 VED is £10 in the first year for a new registration, then £200 annually before supplements. Later annual cash rates are not fixed here; confirm the agreement’s treatment of increases.

Expensive Car Supplement. Allow for £440 annually in 2026/27 where the qualifying zero-emission car’s list price, including relevant options, exceeds £50,000. This applies to registrations from 1 April 2025, for five years from the second licence. Discounts do not determine the threshold. Check GOV.UK’s VED rules.

Planned eVED. An e-tron GT agreement crossing April 2028 should account for planned eVED, additional to VED: a proposed 3p per mile starting rate for electric cars, with CPI uprating proposed from 2029/30. It is not currently charged and remains subject to legislation and implementation. Ask how the funder would pass it through. Read the eVED consultation response.

VAT and the business accounts

VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on qualifying car rentals where private use is available, depending on circumstances and the normal VAT rules. Full rental-VAT recovery requires exclusive business use with no private availability. Maintenance can fall outside the rental block when it is genuinely optional, separately described in the contract and separately quantified on the invoice; recovery remains subject to normal VAT rules. Read HMRC’s motoring VAT guidance.

A zero-emission car is not subject to the CO2-based lease-rental restriction. Check HMRC’s car-hire deduction rules.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, revised FRS 102 generally requires a right-of-use asset and lease liability for lessees, including small companies using Section 1A. FRS 105 lease accounting for eligible micro-entities was not changed in the same way. Contract hire therefore does not universally keep a car off the balance sheet. Ask your accountant to apply the right framework; HMRC summarises the accounting standards.

Build the quotation around the way you will use it

Tell IVF your annual mileage, regular passengers, essential equipment, charging access where relevant and preferred timing. Ask for the precise model year, derivative, options and registration status to be written into the quotation. The catalogue is a starting point; the offered vehicle and funder terms need confirmation.

Business Contract Hire is taken by the business; Personal Contract Hire is taken by the private individual. Both are subject to status and individual funder criteria. Compare the initial rental, term, mileage, maintenance and applicable fees on the same basis. An initial rental is part of the hire cost, not refundable security or ownership equity.

A manufacturer warranty starts under the supplied car’s warranty terms, normally from first registration. Its time and mileage limits may finish before your lease does. It is separate from optional servicing and tyre cover. Confirm maintenance inclusions, insurance responsibilities, tax provisions and early-termination terms before signing.

At the end of contract hire, return the vehicle; there is no contractual purchase option. Excess mileage, damage beyond the funder’s fair wear and tear standard, missing equipment or other contractual charges may still be payable. Check the return process before choosing your agreement.
