For your 2013 Audi Q5 we have hitches like the Draw Tite part # 75940 which is a confirmed fit. If you plan to tow a trailer you will want trailer wiring though.

For that you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT which will install without any cutting or splicing.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
