If you're currently the lessee of an Audi E-tron model and you're wondering what you're going to get when its lease expires, you might want to reconsider just keeping your current car. According to CarsDirect, Audi sent out a bulletin to all dealers nationwide, informing them of a new incentive for EV lessees who decide to buy their car out after their leases, starting September 1. And, depending on how expensive your E-tron model is, Audi will take as much as $10,000 off your buyout price.

That top-dollar $10,000 buyout discount is only available on the Audi E-tron GT. Lesser models like the discontinued Q8 E-tron and Q4 E-tron get lesser discounts, to the tune of $5,000 and $4,000, respectively. Audi has actually been offering EV buyout incentives since July, 2026, but it increased the Q4 E-tron's discount, as it was $3,000 before. There's no discount for the A6 E-tron, though, as that car hasn't even been out long enough for leases to mature.

Unless customers don't like their E-trons, I can see this being a popular discount. Audi E-tron secondhand values have been plummeting, with cars losing at least half of their value to depreciation in just a year or two. You can find three-year-old E-tron GTs for less than $50,000 with low miles, so depending on what their original buyout price was, this discount could push many customers in that direction.

This program won't last long. Audi says it goes only until the end of September, so if you're an Audi E-tron owner, strike now. It's always fun getting a new car every three years, and one of the main reasons why so many customers lease. However, these discounts could make your current Audi cheap enough to hold onto.
