Audi E-tron Sportback Lease

Audi e-tron concept vehicles were revealed from 2009, with various SUV, coupe and hatchback designs and some using hybrid engines. The current generation dates from 2018, with the e-tron Sportback being a new edition to the range in 2020. It has a big boot space at 615-litres, making it a great environmentally-friendly family car with three trims to choose from; the S line, Launch Edition and Vorsprung.

There is no fuel type for the e-tron Sportback - it’s an all-electric car. The 55 Quattro model uses a 55kWh battery to produce 408 PS. The WLTP range is 241 miles and the battery can be recharged using a fast charger in 50 minutes. For domestic sockets, it can take 14 hours. The e-tron will travel from 0-62 mph in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 118 mph.

The S line and Launch Edition designs have 21-inch alloy wheels that are extended to 22-inches for the Vorsprung. Bespoke trim features include a choice of eight colours and metallic paint. The Comfort and Sound Pack upgrades the stereo equipment and seating, while aluminium roof rails can also be added. Tinted windows offer comfort and style, while Tour and City Packs provide features to suit the environment you will use the vehicle in.

Infotainment features include a 10-inch touchscreen which, alongside Audi Connect, allows you to access the Internet. You can connect a smartphone and use voice commands for the stereo and MMI navigation system. Safety equipment includes an upgradeable cruise control with speed limiter, 360-degree parking sensors and electronic air suspension.

All new vehicles come with Audi’s three-years or 60,000 miles warranty as standard. This warranty can be upgraded. The e-tron’s battery has a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles. Servicing for Audi’s electric vehicles is recommended every two years or 19,000 miles.

A Jaguar I-Pace car leasing deal is a surprisingly affordable option and the Mercedes EQC lease provides much the same range and speed. Alternatives include the Volkswagen e-Golf car lease, the BMW i3 lease and the Tesla X lease.

Car leasing can be an accessible method of getting a new car. As the value of a car depreciates quickly, owning can also end up being costlier in the longer term. The cost to lease a car is the amount it depreciates, which is about 40% of the car. If you like to trade in for a new car every few years and you lease, you'll not be stuck with a quickly depreciating asset.

Contract hire pricing will depend on various features - such as your initial rental payment and annual mileage. A personal lease will be inc VAT, while a business lease will be exc VAT.
