We have an excellent bike rack selection for your 2014 Audi Q5 TDI. We can start with the roof mount bike racks. If your Q5 has the factory roof rack with crossbars, I recommend the Thule UpRide Bike Rack, # TH599000. This is a wheel mount bike rack that does not touch the frame of your bike at all and it does not require you to remove the wheel each time you want to carry your bike. You can also add the Thule One-Key System, # TH450200, to add keyed locks to the bike racks to lock the bike to the rack and the rack to the vehicle.
If your Q5 does not have the factory roof rack, then you will want to add a roof rack. The roof rack I recommend is the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack, which consists of part # TH711320, # TH710601, and the Fit Kit # TH186019. This will give your vehicle and OEM look with the quietest crossbars on the market. The Thule One-Key system can also be added to the roof rack to lock the roof rack to your vehicle.
