Question:
Hello, Will this trailer hitch fit a 2024 Audi A3? Base A3 has two exhausts but are both hidden under the bumper. Seems like the same car but there doesnt seem to be anything available anywhere for an A3. To be used for a bike rack.

Hey Phillip, thanks for reaching out!
The only way to get a hitch fitted to your 2024 Audi A3 is if you have a shop fabricate the Curt Hitch # E17 in some form or fashion. We do have some alternative ways for you to carry bikes with custom-fit carriers if you're interested in going that route.
The first method is to use a trunk mount rack like the Thule OutWay 2 Bike # TH45JV. I really like this carrier because it's a pretty simple installation, but more importantly has a smaller profile and looks a bit more sleek compared to the bulkier alternatives.
The second option is to use a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Evo # TH25AG and a roof mount bike rack, which for that I recommend the Inno Tire Hold II # INA389 because you don't have to remove the front wheel, and the arms to secure the tires are easy to maneuver.

OK. I thought more from that page would be included with the question but...are you saying your tow hitches for a 2024 VW Jetta will not work on a 2024 A3?
