Why lease an Audi through IVF?
Audi is one of the UK's most popular premium brands for both company-car and private drivers, and the range is now one of the broadest of any manufacturer. From the compact A3 to the executive A6, the full line of SUVs from the Q2 to the Q8, and a complete electric e-tron family, there is an Audi for almost every driver and every budget. For business buyers in particular, the electric e-tron models combine genuine premium appeal with the lowest company-car tax available.
Leasing through IVF means you are not tied to a single funder. We check live availability and terms across a panel of trusted lenders, comparing in-stock cars and factory orders, then come back with clear written options showing the monthly rental, initial rental, contract term, mileage and any applicable fees. Audi's strong residual values feed directly into competitive monthly rentals, and because you hand the car back at the end of the term, you carry no depreciation risk and no resale hassle. Explore our wider electric car leasing range or talk to us about business car leasing.
Every Audi lease arranged through IVF includes free UK-wide delivery and a dedicated specialist who manages the whole process. There is no obligation to proceed and no cost to enquire: we tell you what is genuinely deliverable for your budget and timescale, and confirm lead times before you commit, which matters across a range where many specifications are built to order.
Company car tax: why an electric Audi makes sense for directors
For company directors and SME owners, the electric e-tron range changes the maths entirely. For the 2026/27 tax year, every fully electric car is taxed at just 4% Benefit-in-Kind, against up to 37% for a comparable petrol or diesel model. On a £60,000 car, that is the difference between being taxed on £2,400 of value and £22,200: roughly a tenth of the company-car tax bill, year after year, on a genuinely premium car.
That makes the Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron genuinely tax-efficient company cars: a higher-rate taxpayer running a Q6 e-tron can pay a fraction of the monthly company-car tax they would face in an equivalent petrol Q5. The plug-in hybrid A5, Q5 and Q7 sit between the two, lower than pure petrol or diesel but higher than a full EV. VAT-registered businesses can also typically reclaim 50% of the VAT on the finance rental, or 100% where the car is used solely for business.
Your exact figure depends on the model's P11D value and your tax band, and we will calculate it precisely for the Audi you choose. The 4% rate rises to 5% in 2027/28 and 7% in 2028/29. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances; always consult your accountant. Arrange your company car through our business car leasing team.
Petrol, hybrid or electric Audi?
Most of the Audi range offers a choice of powertrain, and several models now come in both combustion and fully electric forms. The right one depends on your mileage, where you can charge and whether you are taxed as a company car driver.
| Powertrain | Best for | Company-car tax (2026/27) | In short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol / mild-hybrid | Lower mileage, no home charging, simplest ownership | Higher (CO2-based, up to 37%) | Familiar and flexible, but the most expensive as a company car |
| Diesel | Very high annual mileage and towing (Q7) | Higher (CO2-based) | Strong long-distance economy on the larger SUVs |
| Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) | Mixed urban and longer journeys, able to charge at home or work | Lower than petrol, higher than full EV | Electric for daily runs, petrol for distance (A5, Q5, Q7) |
| Full electric (e-tron) | Company-car drivers and anyone who can charge at home or work | Just 4% | The biggest tax saving and the lowest cost per mile |
Company-car tax bands are set by HMRC and subject to change.
How do I lease an Audi through IVF?
Leasing an Audi through IVF starts with a short conversation about how you will use the car: business or personal, annual mileage, preferred term and which model and powertrain appeal. We then check live availability across our funder panel and confirm what is genuinely deliverable, including any factory-order lead times, which matter across a range where many cars are built to specification.
Once you choose a model, we build a personalised quotation reflecting your mileage, term and specification. IVF arranges your lease as an FCA-authorised credit broker, sourcing competitive terms from a panel of lenders based on your circumstances, and we receive a commission from the lender for arranging the agreement. We are not a lender ourselves, and there is no cost or obligation to get a quote.
For business buyers, our Business Contract Hire uses the same funder panel as our Personal Contract Hire. Call 01752 429950 or request a callback and a named specialist will handle everything from quote to delivery.
Audi leasing: frequently asked questions
Common questions we hear from business and personal customers about leasing an Audi.
Which Audi should I choose for my business?
It depends on your mileage, how many seats you need and whether you can charge. The A3 is the most affordable way into an Audi. The Q5 is the all-round favourite SUV, with a choice of petrol, mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid power. For company-car drivers who can charge, the electric Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron are taxed at just 4% Benefit-in-Kind, which makes them the most tax-efficient choice. The Q7 suits larger families needing seven seats. A specialist can match the right Audi to your annual mileage on 01752 429950.
Can I lease an Audi through my company?
Yes. IVF arranges Business Contract Hire (BCH) across the full Audi range. BCH lets VAT-registered businesses reclaim part of the VAT on the finance rental (typically 50%, or 100% if the car is used solely for business), and the monthly rental is usually an allowable business expense. Fully electric Audis are taxed at just 4% Benefit-in-Kind for 2026/27, which makes them especially tax-efficient company cars. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and may change.
Can I lease an Audi privately?
Yes. IVF arranges Personal Contract Hire (PCH) across the Audi range. You get the same funder-panel access and named specialist support as business customers, a fixed monthly cost with no depreciation risk, and no large balloon payment at the end of the agreement.
What is the difference between the Audi A4 and A5?
For its latest generation, Audi renamed the A4 saloon and Avant as the A5, so the A5 is now Audi's executive saloon and estate. It is available with petrol and plug-in hybrid power, the PHEV offering a useful electric-only range for commuting. If you were previously looking at an A4, the A5 is its direct replacement. A specialist can talk you through the current line-up.
Which electric Audi has the lowest company car tax?
Every fully electric Audi is taxed at the same 4% Benefit-in-Kind rate for 2026/27, so the lowest tax bill goes to the model with the lowest P11D value, which is usually the Q4 e-tron. The Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron all attract the same 4% rate on a higher list price. We will calculate the exact monthly company-car tax for the specific Audi and trim you are considering.
How much company car tax will I pay on an electric Audi?
For the 2026/27 tax year, every fully electric car, including the Audi Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron, is taxed at 4% Benefit-in-Kind, against up to 37% for a petrol or diesel equivalent. The exact figure depends on the model's P11D value and your tax band, and we will calculate it for the Audi you choose. The rate rises to 5% in 2027/28 and 7% in 2028/29. Always consult your accountant regarding your personal tax position.
How long does Audi delivery take?
It depends on whether you choose an in-stock car or a factory order. In-stock Audis are typically delivered within a few weeks, while factory orders vary by model and specification, with current lead times ranging widely across the range. We confirm the expected delivery date before you commit, and arrange free UK-wide delivery on every lease.
Is IVF a lender?
No. IVF is a credit broker, not a lender. IVF is a trading style of XLCR Vehicle Management Ltd, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 315268). We source finance from a panel of trusted funders and receive a commission from the funder for arranging the agreement. We are not a lender.
Do I get free delivery on an Audi lease?
