It sounds like you have the older Hullavator 897XT which was replaced by the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898. As for if it will fit your new 2019 Audi SQ5, the answer is YES!

What the Hullavator needs is around 28-1/2" inches of bar space and a roof rack with a good amount of weight capacity to handle the rack's 41 lbs plus up to 75 lbs of kayak. With the older Hullavator 897XT, you would need the watersports adapter # THXADAPT11 to work with T-track bars.

If you do not yet have a roof rack for your car, I recommend a Thule Roof Rack system with parts # TH711220, # TH710601, # TH186045. It has WingBar Evo Crossbars with 47" long crossbars and T-tracks that will be great for mounting your Hullavator with the watersport adapter. It also has 165 lbs of weight capacity which is more than enough.

Since your Yakima Crossbars have 1" thick bars, and the inner diameter of the Replacement Roller #753-3006 is 1", this will work with your rack just fine. This part is actually supposed to be a replacement for the Thule Hullavator…

Yakima has their JetStream roof rack part numbers #Y00428, #Y64AR, #Y39AR that fit the flush rails of your 2022 Mazda CX-5. This does connect to your roof using the door mounts though but there isn't a different style of rack available.
