Check out some of our Nissan Micra Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Nissan Micra?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to the Nissan Micra. The fifth-generation Micra was introduced with a range of petrol and diesel engines and was designed as a practical, compact hatchback with modern safety and driver-assistance technology. Towbar Express currently offers a suitable towbar application for the 2017–2022 Nissan Micra, with the correct equipment selected for the vehicle specification.
What towbar options are available for the Nissan Micra?
Towbar Express currently offers a detachable swan neck towbar for the Nissan Micra. The detachable neck can be removed when the towbar is not required, leaving a cleaner appearance at the rear of the vehicle. Towbar Express also states that the detachable swan neck is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers and most cycle carriers.
Which towbar is best for my Nissan Micra?
The detachable swan neck is the towbar option currently available from Towbar Express for the Nissan Micra. It is particularly useful if you only need the towbar occasionally because the neck can be removed when it isn't being used. It is also a practical choice for vehicles fitted with rear parking sensors, as removing the neck when not towing prevents the towbar from being detected by the sensors. Towbar Express states that the detachable swan neck is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers and most cycle carriers.
What is the towbar rated to on a Nissan Micra?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact towbar application and vehicle specification. The towbar's maximum towing weight and vertical nose-load limit must be considered alongside the limits specified for the Nissan Micra itself. The vehicle, towbar, towball and trailer must all remain within their individual limits, with the lowest applicable figure determining the maximum permitted load.
How do I check how much my Nissan Micra can tow?
Towbar Express states that the Nissan Micra has a maximum braked towing capacity of up to 1,170kg. The exact towing capacity should be confirmed from the vehicle's VIN plate, which Towbar Express states is usually located in one of the door frames. Different vehicle specifications can have different limits, so the individual vehicle should always be checked before towing.
Does my Nissan Micra need a bumper cut?
Yes. The Nissan Micra requires a non-visible cut to the underside of the rear bumper for the detachable swan neck towbar. The modification allows the towbar to be installed while keeping the alteration out of normal view from behind the vehicle.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Nissan Micra?
No. Towbar Express describes the required bumper modification as a non-visible cut to the underside of the rear bumper. The cut is therefore not normally visible when looking at the vehicle from behind at standing height.
What electrics do you fit to a Nissan Micra?
We fit 13-pin towing electrics to the Nissan Micra using the appropriate vehicle-specific wiring. The dedicated electrical kit is selected for the exact Micra model and specification and is designed to provide the required trailer lighting and supported towing functions. Using the correct vehicle-specific wiring is particularly important on a modern vehicle with integrated safety, parking and driver-assistance systems.
Will a towbar affect my Nissan Micra parking sensors?
The detachable swan neck is particularly suitable for the Nissan Micra if it has rear parking sensors. Towbar Express specifically notes that detachable towbars avoid issues with parking sensors detecting the towbar neck because the neck can be removed when it is not being used.
Is the Nissan Micra towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Yes. The detachable swan neck towbar offered by Towbar Express for the Nissan Micra is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers. This makes it suitable for compatible caravan applications, provided the caravan weight and nose load remain within the permitted limits of the vehicle and towbar.
Can you fit a towbar to my Nissan Micra at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Nissan Micra towbar at your home or workplace. Appointments are available in two slots: 8am–12pm or 12pm–6pm. Before fitting, we will confirm the exact Micra model, towbar application, bumper requirements and correct dedicated 13-pin electrical kit.
