Clearview Compact vs. Next Gen – Which One Is Right for You?
Towing a caravan, trailer, or large load requires confidence, visibility, and ultimate safety on the road. Clearview’s Compact and Next Gen Towing Mirrors provide excellent solutions, but how do you choose the one that best suits your needs?
Compact or Next Gen Mirror Comparison: Common Features of Clearview Compact and Next Gen Mirrors
Before breaking down their differences, both models share some standout features that make them the best Tow Mirror options:
- Telescopic Extension: Extend up to 180mm for a better view while towing and retract back to near factory settings when not needed.
- Double Arm Design: Provides superior stability, minimising vibrations even at high speeds or on rough terrain.
- Vehicle-Specific Engineering: Retain most of your factory mirror functions like blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree camera compatibility, power-fold, and memory adjustment.
- Customisable: Available in black, chrome, and raw finishes to suit your vehicle’s style.
- Spare Parts Access: Easily replace components if something breaks, reducing waste and downtime.
Compact Towing Mirrors
The Compact Mirrors are designed to resemble your factory mirrors while offering improved functionality for towing. Their single convex mirror caters to those who prefer simplicity and a seamless factory aesthetic.
Single Convex Mirror Design
The Compact features a large convex mirror that minimises blind spots and offers a wider viewing angle. It reduces the size of reflected objects, giving you a better view of your surroundings.
Streamlined Look
Designed to look like your factory mirrors, these are perfect for everyday use as well as towing, while keeping a discreet profile.
Ideal For
Drivers who want subtle aesthetics resembling their factory mirrors.
Next Gen Towing Mirrors
Taking functionality to the next level, the Next Gen Mirrors feature a dual mirror setup that provides enhanced visibility through a combination of flat and convex mirrors.
Dual Mirror Design
The large flat top mirror offers a 1:1 reflection – perfect for reversing and accurate distance judgment. The smaller convex mirror underneath provides an expanded field of view, reducing blind spots and helping you track vehicles in adjacent lanes.
Customisable Mirror Glass Options
The top glass comes standard with a flat 1:1 ratio but can be replaced with convex glass for users who prefer consistent visibility across both mirrors.
Ideal For
Drivers who need precise visibility for reversing, hitching, or towing heavy loads.
Those who prefer a slightly larger mirror design with added functionality.
Large top mirror 1:1 ratio. This large, flat mirror provides a narrower field of view, reflecting true distance for reversing. It provides an exact reflection of what’s happening behind you.
The Smaller bottom mirror. This slightly curved mirror makes objects appear further away than they are. The convex mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots. This mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.
Setup and Adjustment Tips
To maximise the performance of your Clearview Next Gen Mirrors, proper setup and adjustment are key.
Set the Top Mirror (Flat)
Adjust it to give you a clear view of the road behind your vehicle, focusing on lane positioning.
Fine-Tune the Bottom Mirror (Convex)
Use the bottom mirror to eliminate blind spots in adjacent lanes – it should complement the top mirror, not overlap its reflection.
Consider a convex replacement
If the dual mirror design feels overwhelming, consider replacing the flat top glass with a convex one for a uniform view across both mirrors. (Important note: Depending on your vehicle’s registered Category, there may be a legal requirement for a flat mirror glass on the Driver’s side mirror to ensure compliance with ADR 14/02.)

Compact Towing Mirrors
Compact Towing Mirrors are just like a factory Mirror, with the additional advantage of the extra visibility that our towing mirror extension provides.
A large convex single mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots.
Next Gen Towing Mirrors
The Next Gen and its twin mirror design is suitable for towing anything from the smallest of trailers to the largest of vans.
The Next Gen’s dual mirror design provides the best of both worlds; a large flat top mirror helps with reversing into parking spaces or aligning a hitch with a trailer, and the smaller convex mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.
Classic Towing Mirrors
Classic Towing Mirrors, for serious towing!
Very large top mirror 1:1 ratio. This large, flat mirror reflects true distance for reversing. The smaller, convex mirror allows the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishes blind spots.
