The promotion is available for the month of September 2026, and it will give lessees a buy-out incentive of up to $10,000 for certain models.EV lease clients across the United States will be able to avail themselves of this promotion from now until the end of the month, and this is good news for lease customers who've grown quite fond of their Audi BEVs and want to keep them even after their lease agreement.Audi RS E-tron GT PerformanceCole AttishaEligible ModelsThe Audi e-tron GT, Q8 e-tron, and Q4 e-tron are all included in this buy-out program, according to CarsDirect. The biggest incentive discount is available for the e-tron GT, which is set at $10,000.

If a car's good enough, it's not impossible for a bond to form or for a lessee to keep enjoying their vehicle beyond contracts and agreements. On top of that, the car's backed, and if the lessee secured an agreement for a brand-new car, it's like they're the first owners. Audi is making the decision easier for lessees who are on the fence about outright owning their leased vehicle.This story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 6, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
