The Thule Motion XT XL, part # TH629806 does have compatible clamps for your factory bars, but you'll want to take a quick measurement to confirm the fit of the Thule Motion XT XL on your 2014 Audi Q5. The front clearance measurement will tell you if the box will allow your rear hatch to work properly with the box installed.
To get this distance, you'll measure from the center of the front crossbar to the line where your hatch and roof meet.
For the Thule Motion XT XL, you will need this measurement to be longer than 51-1/4 inches. Otherwise, you can step down to the Motion XT L, part # TH629706 , which only requires 47-1/2 inches of front clearance.
