Question:
I was given this hitch by your staff for an Audi q5 2023 plug in hybrid but at the bottom of the page it says excluding plug in hybrid. Which hitch do I need for the phev plug in hybrid q5? Or does this work? Thanks!

Hey Laura! The etrailer Hitch item # e94CR is the correct one for the 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV. It fits both models of your vehicle which is why it says excluding Plug-In Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid. Confusing, I know we get this question often.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
