Expert Reply:

The best trailer hitch for a bike rack on your 2016 Audi Q5 is easily the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75940 because it offers the best bumper clearance and ground clearance of the hitches that fit your vehicle.

This is a 2" hitch with a concealed crosstube, so not only does it mean your Audi keeps its clean look, but it means the hitch sits up higher and closer to the edge of the bumper than the Curt # C13136. I have added a photo of how this hitch looks when installed on a '16 Audi Q5 as well as a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a 2016 Q5.

For a bike rack you can then choose from a premium rack such as the 2-bike rack Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F or 4-bike Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G-NA22G or an economical rack like the 2-bike rack Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z or 4-bike rack Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000. I've added links to video reviews of these racks for you to check out as well.
