More about the Citroen C4
The Citroen C4 Hatchback has a number of new and improved driving assistance systems, some of which include trailer stability control which works with the ESP system and if it senses the trailer or caravan begins to sway the vehicle braking system kicks in to maintain stability. The C4 also boasts Hill Start Assist, giving the driver peace of mind when setting off on an incline and blind spot monitoring, which can be especially useful if your view is limited slightly when towing.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Citroen C4 Hatchback has a towing capacity of between 1,000kg and 1,200kg. 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?
We have three styles of towbar available for fitment to the Citroen C4 Hatchback, these include the Detachable Swan Neck, Fixed Swan Neck and Fixed Flange towbars, all of these are perfect for towing in general but each with their own benefits.
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?
When fitting a towbar to the Citroen C4 Hatchback the bumper will be removed for the duration of fitment and a small bumper cut is required to ensure there is enough clearance for the towbar neck itself, however, this should not be visible as the cut will be on the undertray of the vehicle.
