No it won't be long enough. The saloon backend sticks out a way further than a hatch I'm afraid.

I have them both towbars.

The length of the saloon towbar from the start of cross bar that is bolted underneath the car is 310mm,without towball.

The length of hatchback towbar from the start of cross bar that is bolted underneath the car is 160mm,without towball.

110mm does not seem right with the two towbars i have.
