All you need to know about towbars for Citroen C5
Citroen first introduced the C5 into their range in 2001. The Citroen C5 is available as a Estate, Hatchback, Saloon, or SUV. So you know you are installing the right towbar on your Citroen C5, we have looked at towing capacity, electrical kits, bumper cuts and more for each variation of Citroen C5 below.
Citroen C5 Hatchback Towbars
The Citroen C5 Hatchback was first released in 2001. To determine which variant of Citroen C5 you have, check your vehicle logbook. This will ensure you purchase the correct towbar.

Hatchback models made between 2001 and 2004 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg.
What does nose weight mean?
Nose weight is the force on the towball when a caravan or trailer is attached. Every towbar for every vehicle will have a specific nose weight for that vehicle which can differ between the age of the vehicle and the variation of the model. It is crucial that you don’t exceed the nose weight set on the towbar as this is dangerous and can decrease stability when towing.
Citroen C5 Hatchback Electric Kits
Electrical kits connect the electrics in your Hatchback to the electrics on your trailer, bike rack or caravan so your lights are still visible.
Electric kits for Citroen C5 Hatchback
We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your Hatchback, like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.
Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your Hatchback and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.
Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
