About The 2026 Audi S3 Lease

The 2026 Audi S3 is advertised at $642 a month for 36 months on the Base trim (MSRP $53,395), with $5,642 due at signing and 12,000 miles a year. The S3 starts at $52,000 MSRP with a dealer invoice of about $48,880 for the 2.0T quattro Premium. Advertised lease payments assume a selling price near MSRP, so negotiating the price toward invoice lowers your payment. Closing the full $3,120 gap would cut about $87 a month.

Lease Terms To Check Before You Sign

  • 12,000 miles per year

    If you drive more, ask for a higher-mileage version now; it is cheaper than paying overage later.

  • $5,642 due at signing

    A $0-down version would raise the payment by about $143/mo, and keeps your cash safe if the vehicle is totaled early.

  • Regional pricing

    Lease programs vary by region. Other areas often have a different payment, so confirm with a dealer near your ZIP.

When does the 2026 Audi S3 lease offer expire?

The current offer runs through November 2, 2026. Manufacturers usually refresh lease programs at the start of each month.

How much do you need down to lease a 2026 Audi S3?

Is it better to lease or buy a 2026 Audi S3?

Leasing costs $642/mo here. Financing the same $53,395 vehicle over 60 months at 7% APR with the same $5,642 down is about $946/mo, but you own it at the end. Leasing wins if you want a lower payment and a new vehicle every few years.

  1. 1Advertised lease payment. Manufacturer-advertised closed-end lease for the 2026 Audi S3 Base (MSRP $53,395), offered through participating dealers on approved credit; not all customers qualify. $5,642 total due at signing. 36 monthly payments of $642 (first due at signing) total $23,112. 12,000 mi/yr. Excludes taxes, title, license, registration, and dealer fees. Offer expires November 2, 2026. Payment and terms are set by the manufacturer and participating dealers. AutoFinder is not a lessor, does not set pricing, and is not a party to any lease.
  2. 2Effective monthly cost. AutoFinder calculation: $5,642 due at signing plus the remaining 35 payments of $642 ($28,112 total), divided by 36 months. Excludes taxes, title, registration, and any excess mileage or wear charges. For comparison only.
  3. 3MSRP and invoice price. MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the trim shown and may exclude destination charges, options, and dealer-installed accessories. Invoice prices are estimates of dealer cost from AutoFinder's vehicle data provider and do not reflect holdbacks, incentives, or regional pricing. Potential savings is MSRP minus estimated invoice. Dealers set the actual selling price.
  4. 5Finance payment estimate. AutoFinder calculated $946 per month by financing $47,753 (the advertised MSRP less $5,642 down) over 60 months at 7% APR with $0 applied for a trade-in. These are AutoFinder's assumptions. This is not an offer of credit, not a quote from any lender, and not based on your credit history; your actual rate, term, and payment will differ. Excludes taxes, title, license, registration, and dealer fees.
  5. 6Typical lease and deal rating. Median ($733/mo) and range ($443–$1,014/mo) of estimated lease payments across S3 listings AutoFinder tracks. The deal rating compares the advertised payment to that median and is for comparison only.

$5,642.00 total due at lease signing includes down payment, first month payment, and $0.00 security deposit. Total cost to lessee is $23,112.00 over the lease term. Except as otherwise expressly provided, excludes sales tax, title, registration and other fees. Lessee is responsible for vehicle maintenance, insurance, repairs and charges for excess wear and tear. Actual monthly payments will vary. Not all lessees may qualify; higher lease rates apply for lessees with lower credit ratings. Payment estimate based on lease programs in effect through 11/02/2026.
