Audi A5 September Lease Deals are Surprisingly ReasonableAutoblogAnton AndresFri, September 25, 2026 at 7:30 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.The 2026 Audi A5 in a NutshellFor decades, the A4 was one of Audi's bread-and-butter models. It replaced the 80 and 90, and was a huge success for the folks from Ingolstadt. However, Audi decided to do an odd-even naming scheme, meaning the A4 became the A5, with the coupe and convertibles dropped. The company then reversed its decision, but it was too late for the compact executive formerly known as the A4.Technically, this is the sixth-generation A4, but in reality, it's the third-generation A5. It debuted in 2024 for the 2025 model year and took both the A4 and A5 nameplates in a totally different direction. But even if it's still fresh in the market, Audi gave it a host of updates for 2026.Audi2026 Audi A5 Lease Deals for SeptemberAudi doesn't have national offers for the A5, and rates vary by region, state, or city. That said, one of the more common lease deals we found was for the Premium model: $489 for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing. By our observation, it's a touch less expensive than a BMW 330i xDrive, and while the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has cheaper monthly payments, the due-at-signing price is higher for the C300 4Matic.AdvertisementAdvertisementDealers may have offers on other trims, so it's best to contact them. Nonetheless, the sub-$500 per month deal is the target, but you can lower those monthly payments by putting a bigger down payment. Mileage is limited to 10,000 per year, and there is a penalty of $0.25 per mile exceeded. This offer is valid until September 30, 2026.Audi USA2026 Audi A5 HighlightsThe 2026 A5 follows the usual trim hierarchy of Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige with prices ranging from $50,200 to $56,700. Sadly, a wagon model is no longer being offered stateside, and there is no Allroad version to be seen. It makes up for it with a still-practical liftback body style. As for the standard kit, Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, along with a power tailgate, advanced driver assists, top-view cameras, center airbag, power-adjustable steering column, and front seat heaters. The Audi Signature Care service plan is also included, even for leased vehicles.What's new for 2026? After criticism of reduced physical controls in 2025, Audi addressed the issue by adding more tactile buttons to the A5 steering wheel. Parking assists can be summoned on screen via a button, so there's no need to dig through the touchscreen to engage those. Speaking of touchscreens, the infotainment system has an updated operating system for a simpler, easier-to-use display.The A5 is available with many powertrain choices, but only abroad. North American models get only one option: the 2.0-liter TFSI with 268 hp and 295 lb-ft.2026 Audi A5 Premium with Muscat Brown interiorAudiFinal ThoughtsThe A5 is a bit underrated next to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It's outsold by its compatriots, but it deserves more attention. It faces a big challenge, as the 3 Series is being redesigned while the C-Class just got a facelift. Nonetheless, the A5 has a lot to offer in its class, and neatly splits the difference between Stuttgart and Munich.Audi USADisclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
