My 2016 q5 didn't come with one and I didn't think to ask for it when i bought it. The official Audi item costs $215 which is an absurd amount to pay for a freakin nylon net.

Any recommendations on one that fits the q5 nicely?

I bought the absurdly priced Audi one and now that the cold bucket of water sticker shock is but a distant vague memory I will say that nearing 4 years of fairly regular use (mostly groceries/lawn supplies) it still looks and performs the way it did on the day we bought it. I bought one on eBay for my Kia and it too has seen regular use with no issues but definitely not as good at stretching and retaining items as the Audi one.

My mother in law uses a non-slip rug pad, so I though I'd give it a try. It works great. You can't go aggressively around corners and still have everything remain in place, but the gallon of milk no longer slides around when driving home. Of course this doesn't keep odd shaped objects from flopping around, but it does keep things from sliding around.

I bought an el cheapo one off of Ebay or Amazon..can't reacall..about $13...the hooks that anchor the net to the clips in the floor sucked..Damned near impossible to get them to open wide enough to remove..so I bought some nice black metal ones from the big orange box..and they work great...maybe spend $10 on them?...The Genuine Audi one has a ridiculious price..I can't see spending even $50 for a bunch of bungee cord..

My daughter's GTI came with one, maybe I'll try to see if it fits.
Amazing that a $30K vehicle has it as standard equipment.

I know it's an old post but just taking a shot... do you still have the cargo net for sale?

Thanks.

I recommend you consider installing grocery hooks. They work great.

I don't know about you guys, but I just put my grocery bags on the floor of the back seat if I only have a few. Works every time...
