What's the Towing Capacity of a Vauxhall Astra?

The towing capacities of the new Vauxhall Astra Hatchback vary between models, ranging from around 1,200kg to 1550kg. This respectable towing weight for a vehicle of its size leaves a wide array of options open for towing. To confirm the towing capacity of your Vauxhall Astra, refer to the VIN plate on the vehicle - deducting the first figure in kilograms from the second of the four.

Which Towbar is best for my Vauxhall Astra?

Currently, only detachable swan neck towbars are available from our suppliers for the new Vauxhall Astra Hatchback, though this is likely to change as towbars in development are released. The detachable swan neck towbar features a ‘neck’ of which the towball is a part, which attaches to a housing fitted behind the bumper on the vehicle. The electrical socket is able to pivot up behind the bumper whilst the neck is detached from the vehicle. Swan neck style towbars are also compatible with ALKO stabilisers on caravans, simply needing the paint removing from the towball to avoid contamination. The detachable swan neck allows a towbar fitting to the new Vauxhall Astra Hatchback without spoiling its good looks. The detachable nature of the neck also avoids the potential of interference with the parking sensors, as it is removable when not in use.

Will the Vauxhall Astra need a bumper cut?

A bumper cut is not required for the detachable swan neck towbar on the new Vauxhall Astra Hatchback, allowing the towbar to fit with minimal impact on the vehicle’s aesthetics. With the detachable neck removed and the electrical socket rotated behind the bumper, you would never know a towbar had been fitted.

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
