I have the perfect hitch solution for your 2024 Audi Q5, James!

The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518 gives you a 2" removable receiver so you gain access to a wide variety of accessories while also maintaining an OEM look on your vehicle when you aren't using the bike rack.

I'm attaching an installation video and the finished look of when we installed this hitch on a 2020 Q5 for you to check out.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because of the sleek matte black look and how easy it is to use. The NV 2.0 Base has been a favorite of mine for a number of years now and I have yet to see a bike rack beat it when it comes to practical use and durability.
