Audi Launches Killer 2025 Q3 Lease Offer For August
For those looking to grab hold of the Audi rings, the diminutive entry-level 2025 Q3 is a tempting place to start. After all, it offers the hallmarks that separate it from its more plebeian Volkswagen corporate siblings. It's tastefully understated yet upscale, looking every bit like an Audi. True, its size might lead you to believe it was left in the dryer too long, but that subcompact footprint is deceptive, as there's a surprisingly roomy rear bench and 23.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, growing to 48 cubic feet once they're stashed. It even has Apple and Android connectivity, which can be wireless if you pay for the optional Technology Package. Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and Quattro all-wheel drive. It's rated at 184 horsepower on the 40 TFSI model, and 228 horsepower on the 45 TFSI model. Each can be had in Premium or tonier Premium Plus trim. While far from Audi's hottest performer, it makes for a perfect urban conveyance with a touch of Audi luxury, and it can be had with a very tempting lease in August. Currently, Audi is offering a Q3 45 TFSI quattro Premium 36-month/30,000-mile lease for $469 per month, with a $4,289 due at signing, for residents of Florida. A security deposit is not included, and a $395 disposition fee is charged at lease end. The lease is based on an MSRP of $43,140, including destination charge. Price does not include tax, title, license, options, and dealer fees. All Q3 customers also get a $1,500 cash bonus on select Audi Q3 models. The deal is the same in Dallas or the Mid-Atlantic, but requires a $4,889 down payment, while in the Midwest, you'll need a $4,999 down payment. On the West Coast, you'll need to plunk down $5,363 to get the deal. Those in the Northeast will need the most cash at closing: $5,395. Keep in mind that, when leasing, consider the monthly payment cost, taxes, and fees before signing. Lease offers vary by metro market. Check your local pricing here. If you lack the cash to put down, understand that there are some things you might have to pay, such as the first month's payment and acquisition fee. Nevertheless, should you opt for $0 down, your payment in Florida is around $550.25. In Dallas, it'll run $567, in the Midwest $570, on the West Coast $580, and in the Northeast $582. Audi's current lease offer ends September 2, 2025. The 2025 Audi Q3 is a compact SUV with a big attitude. It's not the most spacious or the most powerful in its class, but it nails the basics with luxury, tech, and a driving experience that punches above its weight. This subcompact crossover is the perfect blend of luxury and practicality for people who want to drive something that feels premium but don't necessarily need to haul a family of six to a soccer game every weekend. Think of it as the SUV equivalent of a well-tailored suit: sharp, stylish, and just the right amount of substance. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

My Favorite Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner Is 29% Off on Amazon Right Now
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more › The latest car news, reviews, and features. An OBD2 scanner that can read your vehicle's trouble codes is a critical tool for DIYers. But even if you don't like turning wrenches yourself, it's hugely helpful to be able to get an idea of what's going on with your car when the check engine light comes on—at a minimum, it can tell you if you need to stop driving immediately or can procrastinate the repair. One of my favorite tools for this job, the BlueDriver, is the cheapest I've ever seen it on Amazon right now. See It There are a million OBD2 scanners on the market, but I like the BlueDriver because it's particularly user-friendly for non-pros. And it lets you use your phone's rich interface, rather than a tiny LCD screen, to get info. BlueDriver provides contextual information along with trouble codes, plus it's wireless. Simply plug the device into your car's diagnostic port (pretty much every U.S.-market car made after 1996 has one in the driver's footwell area), Bluetooth it to your phone, and the free app lets your car talk to you. It's compatible with iOS and Android; I use mine with an iPad because the screen's nice and large. If you're willing to go deeper on diagnostics, BlueDriver can report some live engine data. But if you just need to know if your car's about to explode or if you just have a minor issue, the app will tell you that in pretty plain language, too. As long as you have an internet connection, you can zoom straight from your trouble-code diagnostic to likely causes and repair suggestions. It's a great compromise between cheap, small OBD scanners and higher-end color-screen ones. I think I paid about $100 for mine a couple of years ago, the list price is $119.95, and if you grab this Amazon deal right now, you can pick one up for $84.95. Pro tip for those who are really frugal: Many auto parts stores will read your engine codes for free. But that's not always practical or convenient. The BlueDriver does a lot of what higher-end scanners can do at my lower cost since it uses your phone as the primary interface. And, as discussed, it provides some tips and insights to get your car working properly again. If you prefer a wired device that's self-contained and doesn't require phone pairing, the Innova 5610 is also on sale (more money, but high-quality), as well as the Topdon AD600S (horizontal interface, wider screen). We scour the web to bring you the best deals on big-name brands in tools, car parts, toys, electronics, watches, and everything else a gearhead could want.
