Thank youSadly, no. Only Europe has that style (despite what one of the salesman at the dealer said). I would have loved that.
Really? Was your tow hook installed by the dealer or by the factory?Sadly, no. Only Europe has that style (despite what one of the salesman at the dealer said). I would have loved that.
I think you are right. I ordered based on what was presented on the ordering page so many months ago, which showed the folding hitch. I just now dug down into the accessories pages for the tow hitch in the US market, and indeed it's a static mounted receiver, slung below the bumper. Seems like it will reduce road clearance a bit. I'm bummed.My understanding (which could easily be wrong) is that there is a difference in the spec for trailers in North America vs Europe. North America doesn’t get the flip down hitch because of this.
I picked up the car I put a deposit on in Oct 2019 today. The factory ordered hitch is the same as on the accessory page. It is NOT the drop down hitch originally ordered. The MSRP of this towbar is $1,125. (versus $1,140 for the retractable hitch) It does not come with ball. It is a 2 inch hitch box.I think you are right.

Mine came with a bar and a ball. Even in a little bag to keep the trunk clean when not in use.I picked up the car I put a deposit on in Oct 2019 today.

Thanks for the information about the bar, ball and bag. I will have to contact dealer to ask where mine is.Mine came with a bar and a ball. Even in a little bag to keep the trunk clean when not in use.
Wow. I believe Oct 2019 is when they opened up pre-orders in the U.S. Did mine in Jan 2020. Congrats on getting the car and hanging in there!I picked up the car I put a deposit on in Oct 2019 today.
Great! So, that would mean it is a class 3 hitch, even if they don't rate the towing that high. Does it come with a 4pin flat, or a 7pin round trailer electrical connector?It is a 2 inch hitch box.
