— Why Audi Original? —
|
|
Full Audi integration
|
The Q3 hitch is installed with an electronic control module that integrates all key systems involved in towing:
- Trailer brakes
- Parking sensors
- Stability control
- Electronic brake distribution
- Transmission
Warranty note: Towing-related transmission failure is ONLY warrantied with the original Audi hitch.

|
Professional Audi installation
|
Aftermarket hitch installations can cause serious damage to Q3 computers and electrical systems. Repairs routinely cost thousands of dollars and are not covered under the vehicle.
|
|
Full 2,200-lb towing capacity
|
The Q3 hitch is aligned with the towing capacity of the Q3 2.0, providing the best balance of performance and price.
|
|
No loss of ground clearance
|
The Audi hitch is 1 1/4" in diameter and protrudes through the bumper cover for higher hitch placement and better ground clearance. Aftermarket hitches typically mount below.
|
|
No loss in crash safety
|
The OEM hitch replaces the rear bumper and delivers the same load and crash characteristics as the bumper—an important consideration in a rear-end collision.
