Configure Towbar

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.



  • Tidy and compact
  • 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

More about the Smart 3

Inside, the Smart #3 delivers a refined and technology-focused cabin designed for comfort and connectivity. A large central touchscreen, digital driver display and seamless smartphone integration create a clean, intuitive cockpit environment, while quality materials and a panoramic glass roof enhance the sense of space. With seating for five and flexible boot capacity for daily needs or weekend escapes, the Smart #3 combines electric efficiency, contemporary style and real-world usability in one compelling package.

What's my Towing Capacity?

The Smart 3 is rated up to a maximum braked towing capacity of 1,600kg, though Smart do state that the Pro model is not rated for towing. To confirm the exact rating of your particular car, please refer to the VIN plate, which is usually located in one of the door frames.

Which Towbar is best for my Smart 3?

A fixed swan neck towbar for the Smart #3 offers a durable and dependable solution for regular towing needs. Permanently attached to the vehicle’s chassis, this style provides robust strength and stability, making it well-suited for frequent towing of trailers, small caravans or utility loads. While always visible at the rear, a fixed towbar is simple, cost-effective and compatible with a wide range of towing accessories, giving you reliable performance without the need for regular installation or removal. However, there is a chance of parking sensors detecting the neck whilst the vehicle is in reverse.

A detachable swan neck towbar brings everyday convenience to the Smart #3. Its design locks securely into place when you need to tow and can be easily removed when it’s not required, keeping the rear of your vehicle clean and unobstructed. This removable nature helps minimise visual impact, reduces the chance of catching on parking sensors or rear access, and preserves the sleek styling of the Smart #3. Ideal for drivers who tow infrequently but still want a capable and stylish solution, the detachable swan neck towbar offers a great balance of form and function.

Will it need a bumper cut?

Towbars for the Smart 3 require a non-visible cut to the underside of the bumper. This allows for a towbar to be fitted without impacting the aesthetics of the vehicle.
