Used towbars vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Mercedes-Benz CLE (launched 2023 as a two-door coupe and convertible) was not factory-fitted with a towbar as standard, and Mercedes-Benz did not offer a genuine factory tow package for this model — it is a sporting two-door body style not designed or approved for towing. You are unlikely to find a used OEM towbar from a CLE in a breaker's yard, as the car simply was not built with towing capability. If you need a towbar for towing, you may be thinking of a different Mercedes-Benz model such as the C-Class estate (S206) or E-Class estate (S214), which are available with factory towbars.
No — the CLE is a distinct two-door coupe/convertible platform and its rear structure, bumper, and underbody are completely different to the C-Class estate, so parts are not interchangeable. More importantly, because no approved towbar exists for the CLE, fitting one from another model would not be a like-for-like used-part swap and could raise serious legal and insurance concerns. If you are looking for a used towbar for a Mercedes-Benz, confirm with the breaker that the part matches your exact model — for towing capability you would need to look at a model Mercedes actually approved for towing.
Neither the CLE Coupe nor the CLE Cabriolet was offered with a factory towbar — this applies across both body styles regardless of variant. The CLE's two-door sporting platform was not homologated for towing in either roof configuration. If you have seen a towbar listed for a CLE, confirm with the breaker exactly what vehicle it came from before purchasing, as mislisting against this model is possible.
Trim level does not affect towbar fitment as a general rule for Mercedes-Benz models, but this is largely a moot point for the CLE because a factory towbar was not offered on any trim level of this car. AMG Line and Avantgarde share the same fundamental rear structure, so trim is not your concern here — the absence of an approved tow system on the model entirely is the real issue. If you need a used towbar for a Mercedes, speak to a breaker about a model that was actually approved for towing.
It is very unlikely to be a genuine CLE part, as Mercedes-Benz did not produce a factory towbar for the CLE. It is far more probable the part has been mislabelled or the seller is confusing the CLE with a C-Class estate, E-Class estate, or another Mercedes model that was offered with towing equipment. Always confirm with the breaker which exact vehicle the part was removed from and check it against your registration before buying. A reputable breaker will be able to verify the donor vehicle's details.
