More about Audi Q5 Towbars
As standard, the Q5 is equipped with Quattro on-demand; this enables the drive forces to be distributed where needed between the individual wheels. The Audi Q5 also has a top view camera that allows the driver to access the view of the entire area surrounding the vehicle. The top view camera uses four wide-angle 360-degree cameras that are the perfect help when manoeuvring in tight spaces.
There are many safety features enabled in the family SUV, including Audi adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist and active lane assist and Audi pre sense city.
Using the windshield-mounted front camera, Audi pre sense city scans the road for other vehicles and pedestrians. If there is any threat of a collision, the driver will receive a series of warnings, and if necessary, the car will start to apply the brakes fully.

What’s my Towing Capacity?
The Audi Q5 has a towing weight of approximately 2000KG; however, this could vary on other vehicles due to different trims available. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Which Towbar is best for my vehicle?
We offer a wide range of towbars for the Audi Q5, enabling as much room to cater to everyone's towing needs as possible.
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
No bumper cut is required on the standard trim on the Audi Q5; however, the vehicle bumper needs to be removed for the duration of the fitment. Please note that different trims may require a modification; if you are unsure if this applies to your car, contact our sales team for further information.
