Here's how you will figure out if the Yakima Skybox NX 16 # Y95AV will interfere with the rear hatch of your 2015 Audi Q7.

You will need to slide your front crossbar as far forward as possible (it it's adjustable), and then you will need to measure from the center of the bar to the seam of the rear hatch. If that measurement you took is 47 inches of more, then the rear hatch will open without interference. This is the Skybox that would have the best chance of fitting and it is confirmed to fit the factory crossbars of your Q7.

For a Yakima box that would only require 45 inches of clearance the Rocketbox 14 part # Y07192 would be your best option.
