Crossbars for the first generation Audi Q5 designated as 8R, manufactured from 2008 to 2016. All kits in our offer are designed directly for roofs equipped with flush rails.
The first generation of the Audi Q5 has a roof equipped with flush rails. This element lies directly against the body along its entire length, leaving no free space underneath to pass your hand through. The rack feet attach directly to the shaped edge of these rails according to the precise mounting points prescribed by the manufacturer.
When verifying the model, the production year is crucial. A newer generation arrived in 2017, which requires different feet and mounting kits. If you have a vehicle from the turn of the years 2016 and 2017, please check your vehicle registration document or compare the model with the newer version Audi Q5 FY before purchasing.
When choosing a set, you will come across steel and aluminum crossbar versions. Steel bars have a traditional rectangular cross-section, to which roof boxes or holders are attached using U-bolts. Aluminum profiles have an aerodynamic shape and feature a top T-track. Accessories slide into it using special adapters, which makes handling across the entire width of the roof easier.
If you already own a roof box, bicycle carriers or ski holders at home, check their mounting method. This will help you avoid buying additional adapters later. Always read what each package contains directly in the description of the specific product.
The Audi Q5 is a taller vehicle, and with a loaded roof box or bicycles, the total height increases significantly. Be especially careful when entering underground garages, parking structures and car washes. The higher center of gravity can also affect the car's behavior in strong crosswinds on the highway.
Do not forget about weight limits. The total roof load includes not only the cargo itself, but also the weight of the empty box and the mounted crossbars. The maximum permissible roof load is specified in the vehicle manual.
Choose a suitable crossbar set from the selection above. You can find other versions of this model in the Audi Q5 category or in the main section for Audi vehicles.
