Towing capacity of Audi Q3?

We recently bought a 2015 Q3 Audi with the belief that it could tow up to 2000kg as in Audi's brochures. The salesman said this was correct as we want to tow a 1500kg pop-top. We ordered a tow bar, which they could not supply, so we inquired of Hayman-Reece, which could supply. But the Q3 has a towball load of only 80kg (suitable for a 6x4 trailer). We have asked the dealer and tried to find a contact at Audi but have had no luck. Could you please help? No one else can.

Audi spokesman Shaun Cleary says the ball weight for the Q3 is much lower than either the Q5 or Q7 as it's not designed in Europe for towing. Sorry.
