Citroen C3 Towbars

Citroen C3

The Citroën C3 is a stylish and compact hatchback that's perfect for city driving, daily commutes, and weekend trips. With its bold design, comfortable interior, and fuel-efficient engine options, the C3 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride. While it’s not built for heavy-duty towing, it’s more than capable of handling light towing needs – making it a great candidate for a small trailer, bike rack, or cargo carrier when fitted with a suitable towbar.

At Towbar Express, we offer a range of Citroën C3 towbars, including both fixed and detachable options, professionally fitted by our expert installers. Every towbar is tailored to your specific C3 model to ensure a perfect fit with full safety compliance.

On a Swan Neck towbar, the towball is part of the neck of the towbar.

A swan neck towbar can look tidier on the vehicle because it is more compact and is less likely to set any reverse parking sensors off. We can not guarantee this as it is dependant on the bumper shape and location of the parking sensors. We would recommend the Detachable Swan Neck Towbar if your vehicle has parking sensors.



  • Tidy and compact
  • Compatible with ALKO Stabilisers
  • Fits most clamp-on Cycle Carriers
  • If your vehicle has parking sensors, it is likely the fixed swan neck Towbar will trigger the parking sensors. We would recommend a Detachable Towbar instead

More about Citroen C3 Towbars

Citroën C3 towbars are a great addition for drivers looking to increase the practicality of their compact hatchback. While the C3 isn’t designed for heavy towing, it can comfortably manage light-duty towing tasks—perfect for bike racks, small trailers, or extra storage for weekend getaways. Adding a towbar to your Citroën C3 transforms it from a city runaround into a more versatile everyday vehicle.

What’s the Towing Capacity for a Citroen C3?

The Citroen C3 has an approximate towing capacity of 1,300kg. It is extremely important to be aware of the weight of what you are wanting to tow as overloading the towbar can result in damage to the vehicle or the towbar. The VIN plate provides an accurate towing capacity for individual cars and can be found under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill.

Which Towbar is best for my Citroen C3?

The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.

The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.

The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.

Will my Citroen C3 need a bumper cut?

This vehicle does not require a bumper cut.
