Expert Answers about Audi Q3


  • Towing With A Stealth Hitch and 2021 Audi Q3
  • Yes, it sounds odd doesn't it. But no worries, there is another option, let me explain. Stealth hitches such as the # 391AUDQ319 that you ask about are a bit different than a conventional hitch. The receiver that it comes with is designed only for carrying hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. However, if you want to tow with your 2021 Audi Q3, you can use the # 391AUDQ319T instead. The part number ending in "T" for tow. This one has a specially designed ball mount and 2" hitch...

  • Compatibility of Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack on 2016 Audi Q2
  • Your 2016 Audi Q2 has not been fitted with any bike racks from any of our manufacturers at this time. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # HRF2-3 is one of the most versatile trunk mounted racks and is made for vehicles with a top spoiler. I personally would go this route as I'm confident it will work well even though it has not been specifically confirmed to fit. I've attached a video of a similar fit to assist. I also...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Hitch for 2017 Audi Q3 Work With Threaded Hitch Bolt.
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75218 is a great option for a 2017 Audi Q3. I do see a few reviews of others using this hitch for bike racks without reporting issue of the safety chain loops interfering with the hitch pin. That said, it does look close so it could be possible therefore I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13238 instead.

  • Tire Chains Recommendation for 2022 Audi Q3 with 255/40R20 Low Clearance Tires
  • The XG-12 Pro Konig Tire Chains # TH01594247 you asked about for the 255/40R20 tires on your 2022 Audi Q3 require 12 mm of clearance so for your application I recommend going with the Easy-Fit for your tire size: Konig Easy-Fit Tire Chains - # TH04115247 These only require 9 mm of clearance and are designed to be extremely easy to install and remove which is definitely appreciated when you think about the conditions that would cause you to have to put chains on in the first place.

  • What Length of Crossbars Will Work With Thule Hullavator on 2017 Audi Q3?
  • To use the Thule Hullavator # TH898 with your 2017 Audi Q3 you would use the 47" crossbars, # TH711200; these would give you the necessary room for the Hullavator. A complete roof rack for your '17 Q3 would include those crossbars, along with the Thule Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH710601 and Thule Fit Kit # TH186031. The Hullavator # TH898 is a unique and highly effective kayak carrier due to its lift assist feature, which makes mounting your kayak a much less daunting prospect after a...

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment on a 2023 Audi Q3
  • So far, as of June 2023, the only trailer hitch options for your 2023 Audi Q3 come from Stealth Hitches. While these are the only options, I still really like them because you can remove the receiver or ball mount for a completely OEM look when you aren't using it. You'll need one of the following depending on what you plan on using the hitch for: - Recreational (bike racks and cargo carriers) Kit # 391AUDQ319 - Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T Attached is a review video for you to check out...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2020 Audi Q3 With Hands-Free Liftgate
  • It is correct that the only hitch that is available for a 2020 Audi Q3 with the hands-free liftgate are the Stealth Hitches. In regards to the Draw-Tite, it's not possible to say if your specific installation steps can work; it's simply never been tried because the sensors interfere with the install at the frame location. The only thing that I can tell you will work is the Stealth Hitches option, which you can get with just a rack receiver if you do not plan on towing, or a rack receiver...

  • Draw-Tite Class III Hitch 75218 Installation on 2016 Audi Q3 for Using Hitch Bike Rack
  • All aftermarket hitches made for your 2016 Audi Q3 are shown on the linked page. These options include both 1-1/4-inch Class II and also 2-inch Class III type hitches. Since both install in the same manner I recommend one of the 2-inch models, either Curt # C13238 or Draw-Tite # 75218, since these will offer broader compatibility with the available bike racks and also a higher weight capacity. Both of these 2-inch hitches will require some trimming of the rear fascia but neither required...

  • Clearance Solution For Trailer Hitch On A 2015 Audi Q3 That Sits Too Low
  • There unfortunately isn't a trailer hitch without a built in drop available for the 2015 Audi Q3 so you're only option for raising the height of the bike rack would be to use a hitch adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-048-4. This adapter would give you a 4" rise to provide more ground clearance for your bike rack. Note: Hitch adapters do reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50%, so your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13238 would have a maximum...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line
  • I have a great hitch for you but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT68MR will not fit the 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line's regardless of whether or not they have the hands free lift gate feature. Instead you will want one of the Stealth Hitches and depending on what you are using the hitch for will determine which one you need.

  • Can Sun Roof of 2022 Audi Q3 Be Used With Roof Rack in Place
  • The roof rack manufacturers all recommend that sun roofs be kept closed when a roof rack is in place. This is done because the roof rack doesn't usually interfere, but because the carriers that install on a rack usually mount with their attachment hardware pointing downwards. This can damage sunroofs that open upward, and due to the hundreds of available roof rack mounted accessories, the roof rack manufacturers have no way of knowing whether a given accessory will interfere or not. Therefore,...

  • Do I have To Cut The Fascia When Installing A Hitch On 2015 Audi Q3
  • All of the hitches available for the 2015 Audi Q3 are concealed cross tube hitch designs so they all require fascia trimming. Both Class III hitches for your Audi Curt part # C13238 and Draw-Tite part # 75218 require a 3-1/2" square cut into the fascia so that the receiver portion of the hitch can stick through. I recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75218 because the installation instructions are better for this hitch. The Class II hitch available for the Audi Curt part # C12148 requires a...
