More about the Skoda Elroq
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Skoda Elroq is rated up to a maximum braked towing capacity of 1,000kg, making it capable of towing trailers and even some light-weight caravans as well as cycle carriers. To confirm the capacity of your Elroq, check the VIN plate usually located in one of the door frames.
Which Towbar is best for my Elroq?
The fixed flange features a towball bolted directly to the towbar faceplate, allowing for the easy fitting of accessories such as the bumper protector plate, or bolt-on cycle carriers. It’s permanently attached, making it a highly durable and cost-effective solution, though it is possible it may be detected by reversing sensors.
The fixed swan neck towbar features a sleek, curved design where the towball and neck are a single piece. Its streamlined shape makes it less obtrusive and more compatible with reverse sensors compared to the flange style. Although not compatible with bolt-on accessories, the swan neck is compatible with ALKO hitches without the need for a separate ALKO towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar offers the same elegant look and towing strength as the fixed swan neck, but with the added advantage of being removable when not in use. This keeps the car’s design lines clean and avoids interference with parking sensors when not towing. It’s an ideal choice for drivers who want the practicality of towing without compromising the everyday look of their vehicle.
Will it need a bumper cut?
The Skoda Elroq requires a non-visible bumper cut to a pre-marked area on the bumper, allowing a towbar fitment to have a minimal impact on the vehicle’s aesthetics.
