What’s the towing capacity of a Mazda 3?

The towing capacity for the Mazda 3 sits between 1100kg and 1300kg depending on the model selected, allowing it to tow a cycle carrier, trailer, or caravan. It is important to remember that not all vehicles are homologated to tow, so you must refer to the VIN plate on your vehicle before booking your towbar fitment. Please bear in mind the addition of a towbar to your Electric or Hybrid Vehicle may impact the range that the battery is capable of.

Mazda 3 Towbars

The design of the Mazda originates from the Japanese Takumi, with the mastery of the human touch apparent throughout the vehicle. Mazda thrives on the fact the design process is for the most part handcrafted, rather than computerised.

The elegant and stylish compact vehicle impresses with its sleek and sporty exterior, as well as the high-quality interior. The cabin boasts sophistication with materials and finishes carefully selected by master craftsmen.

The handling of the Mazda is firm but effective and portrays a sense of nimbleness whilst manoeuvring. Features such as rear parking sensors and a high-definition rear-view camera assist also assist with tight spaces and reversing. The GT Sport Tech model also adds a birds-eye camera to the list of helpful features.

The driving position in the Mazda is high with a clear view of the road ahead. The interior oozes luxury, with a classic combination of high-quality materials such as soft-touch plastic and chrome trim highlights.

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.

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

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 Mazda 3?

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 Mazda 3 need a bumper cut?

The Mazda 3 will require a bumper cut; however, this will not be visible.
