28 inches from the center of the front cross bar to the center of the rear cross bar. Perhaps a hair under, like 27 7/8".

The width from the inside of one side rail to another is 43.5 inches. Wasn't sure exactly which dimensions you were looking for.

I would doubt they're compatible since the Q7 is a much bigger vehicle but I could be wrong.

If you do take up the Q5 racks, make sure to ask for the TORQUE WRENCH which has a security tip, to match those racks. Otherwise you'll have to buy one from a dealer.

There are many different wrenches, I believe 7 different tips, so you need the correct wrench to match your racks.
