More about the Citroen C4 Picasso
The C4 Picasso is designed with stability in mind, making it a safe and reliable vehicle for towing. It features electronic stability control (ESC), which helps to keep the car and trailer stable on the road, even in challenging driving conditions. The C4 Picasso is also available with Trailer stability assist which will automatically detect any trailer sway and takes corrective measures to keep the trailer stable. This helps to reduce the risk of accidents and makes towing easier and safer. Hill start assist is another useful safety feature, particularly when towing as it prevents the vehicle from rolling back when setting off from an incline, giving the driver piece of mind when towing.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Citroen C4 Picasso supports a towing capacity of up to 1500kg. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Which Towbar is best for my Citroen C4 Picasso?
All three types of towbar that we offer are available for fitment to the Citroen C4 Picasso and any would be a great addition to your vehicle, some may be better suited than others, depending upon your requirements and what you intend to tow.
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 it need a bumper cut?
During fitment to the Citroen C4 Picasso, the bumper will be removed for the duration. A small cut will also be made to the undertray, but this should not be visible unless viewing the vehicle from the ground up and it is essential to ensure there is adequate clearance for the towbar neck itself.
