Find out the projected monthly maintenance cost for one VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG with tax, running costs, insurance and workshop costs.
If you would like to lease a VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG, you may need to consider not only the monthly lease fee, but also the other costs incurred. For this offer, for example, transfer costs in the amount of 1500 €.
With a lease term of 24 months and a monthly lease payment of 399
€ with 10000 km mileage per year, there are fixed leasing costs of 11076 €. Insurance costs for the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG are quite reasonable at around 122 € per month, especially for drivers with a high no-claims class.
The monthly tax is only 20 due to the CO2 pricing introduced in 2021, which takes more account of environmentally harmful emissions. The low depreciation of 524 € / month (for use over 5 years) for the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG is not a factor in mileage leasing, but is an advantage in residual value leasing. On average, the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG trades for 51880 €, the offered vehicle has a gross list price of 72209 €.
Did you know? Immediately available vehicles like this one are usually a bit more expensive than order vehicles, because here the dealer calculates a surcharge for the storage / display of the vehicle into the offer.
The lease payment is 399 € per month for a term of 24 months, so it is an average-priced offer. Can we still talk about a leasing deal for the VW Golf? The decisive factor is the leasing factor, which is calculated by dividing the leasing rate by the gross list price.
To the monthly leasing rate must also be added the additional costs, such as transfer and registration. With 1500 €, the dealer makes here again a neat surcharge. Dividing the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 11076 €) by the number of months (for this offer: 24 months) gives the monthly effective costs. If you then divide this amount by the gross list price of 72209 €, you get the leasing factor. With this VW Golf results in an effective leasing factor of 0.95, the leased vehicle is therefore average value for money, it may be worthwhile to make a further leasing comparison.
However, since this is a year-old car, so in fact a used car, the calculation is based on the purchase price rather than the gross list price.

The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be carried privately. Due to the monthly leasing rate of 399 €, the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG is already one of the quite expensive vehicles on German roads. When calculating the costs per kilometer, however, a distinction should still be made between a rather short leasing period (2 - 3 years) and a longer one (4 - 6 years). For simplicity, we ignore this difference in the following calculation example and assume a lease term of 24 months at the most favorable lease price . The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue), amount to just 175 € monthly, as the vehicle is very economical. In addition, there are insurance costs of 122 € per month, which is quite a low amount but of course mainly due to the low gross list price (72209 €) and the vehicle size. In the transfer and registration, the dealer of this offer must apparently increased effort, the cost of which is 1500 €. The final assessment of this offer: rather high cost per kilometer (1.11 EUR) meets a rather high effective leasing factor of 0.95. You should only accept this offer if you want this car from this dealer.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (10000 km multiplied by the term 24 months).
