What are the benefits of automobile leasing vs purchasing?

There are many benefits to leasing vs purchasing a vehicle. When you lease, you don't own the car so if you drive very little you can usually get a good deal on a lease. You'll have to put money down and make a monthly payment for something you don't own but depending on the deal you get it can be good. If you drive a lot of miles, you are likely better off purchasing versus leasing.
