Audi Q7 Racks
Audi was a latecomer in the crossover market. In 2007, it introduced its luxury class seven passenger crossover SUV, the Audi Q7. To get more from your crossover, you can choose from a number of racks for Audi Q7 to suit your travel and sporting needs.
Does a roof rack affect the aerodynamics of the car?The roof rack rails on your Q7 should not affect the aerodynamics of the vehicle considerably. The most common type of rail for your Audi is the square bar type. Specialty rails that are shaped like the wing of an airplane to make them more aerodynamic can also be found. The biggest factor that affects the aerodynamics of the vehicle is the type of load that is being carried. Car top carriers have been improved to the point where they have little impact on the efficiency of the car. Most rack systems are made of aluminum to make them lightweight and less likely to put extra strain on the engine. Improved aerodynamics helps save fuel mileage and wear on the car.
What types of racks are there for a Q7?Rack systems for the Audi include roof-mounted and hitch-mounted systems. Roof-mounted racks for the Q7 include two bars that span the width of the roof. A special tool is needed to install roof racks. The tool is included in the toolkit that comes with the Audi Q7. Once the rails are installed, a number of accessories are available to help you customize your roof rack. Hitch-mounted systems attach using the tow hitch of the car. The type of system that you use on your Audi depends on what you wish to carry and your preferences. For those who need to access the rear lift often, a roof rack may be the best option. However, for some heavy items, a hitch-mounted system may be preferred.
What can you haul using an Audi rack?There are many different types of rack systems for the Audi Q7. Even though the Audi Q7 is a small and more compact crossover SUV model, you can still haul almost everything that larger vehicles can. Racks can be found that allow you to haul bicycles, kayaks, skis, and snowboards. Carriers can also be found in small, medium, and large models with up to 450 liter capacity. This is big enough to store almost all the camping gear that you could need for a long trek. Cargo nets can also be found for roof racks, and they allow you to haul soccer balls, uniforms, tennis rackets, and other similar items. Bike rack systems that allow you to haul more than one bike are also common. No matter what you need to haul, the Audi Q7 has a rack system that allows you to transport all the equipment you need to engage in your favorite activities without limits.
