Where is the Xpeng tow hook located?
2 Answers
The Xpeng tow hook is located in the plastic tool compartment under the spare tire. Operation of the tow hook: There is a one-inch square plastic cover on the front and rear bumpers of the car that can be opened. Take out the threaded towing tool from the trunk and screw it in. Towing equipment: Choose brightly colored towing equipment, such as yellow, fluorescent green, or fluorescent red. If towing at night, use a tow rope or tow bar with reflective materials to enhance warning effectiveness. Legal regulations: According to Article 56 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", small passenger cars are only allowed to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms, and passengers are not allowed in the trailer. In addition, safety protection devices must comply with national standards.
I've been driving my XPeng for several years. The tow hook is usually located right under the rear bumper. If you crouch down, you'll see a small plastic cover that can be pried open with a key or your finger to reveal the metal hook. For example, the XPeng P7's hook is right there, but it may vary slightly between models, with the G3 being a bit offset. I remember checking the manual to confirm the location during my first towing experience because dust had accumulated and stuck the cover. Since then, I've made it a habit to clean it regularly to keep it accessible. An improperly secured tow hook poses significant risks, such as chain detachment or body scratches, so always tighten it securely during installation. The placement is designed with road safety in mind, as the rear of the car is the most stable towing point. Overall, XPeng's design in this area is quite reasonable, but in emergencies, don't guess—check the app or manual screenshots for clarity.
