Thule Rapid 754 with the kit TH1711 fits perfectly. Just did 2100 km with roof box with two pairs of offpist skis, two pair of nordic skis, poles, boots for the nordic skis and some gear for a child carrier.

So you can recommend this ? Looks like a nordic usage, i.e in Sweden or Norway ? How did it affect energy consumption ?

Not as much as I thought it would. Around 17 kWh/100 km when I averaged 70 kph and 20 kWh/100km when I averaged 100 kph, both in -5 to 0 degrees Celsius. Longest drive between chargestops was 146 km thru intense snowstorm at night with -10 degrees. Arrived with 20 km left efter driving 60-70 kph most of the time due to bad visibility. Otherwise we mostly drove 120 km between chargestops with good margins.

Here´s some other pics of Thule Rapid 754 with TH1711 adapter kit and cargobox on the roof.

does it affect radio / satnav reception?

is there much additional wind noise?

Hope this helps?

Obviously I have just guessed a position.
You have to make your own decision and risk assessment

I only fitted the rack quickly, didn't even fit the end caps etc.
I will do this before I use it next.

Hi,
About the guesstimation: one can look at this picture of the IONIQ aluminium structure, the blue parts are supposed to be stronger than the light grey ones.
(picture is taken from hyundai official website: https://www.hyundai.news/eu/model-news/ioniq-a-leap-forward-for-hybrid-vehicles/)

STILL AT YOUR OWN RISK, as the official roof payload is still 0... (at least according to the current French documentation)
=> Does anyone have news about the possible official 'roof payload accreditation' by Hyundai ? (not sure about the exact English technical word)

Cheers,
Tom,

Base Roof Rack System

Hooked up my 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Blue with a base Yakima roof rack system.
Decided to post, just in case someone is debating if they should get a roof rack.
Have had the roof rack on my vehicle for a couple of weeks now and have not really seen
any noticeable difference on my mpg. Of course I do most of my driving on the LA streets.
And try to keep my "driving style" mostly on "economical".

Listed below are all the parts I purchased for the base Yakima roof rack system.
Chose Yakima by preference; grew up with the brand.
1. BaseLine Towers (Set of Four)
2. BaseClip 175 (B85-4)
3. BaseClip 111 (B36-3)
4. JetStream Silver Small 50"
5. 46 inch WindShield
6. SKS Lock 4 Pack

You can see in the pictures that the roof rack is placed on the roof rails, not on the actual roof.
These roof rails are strong enough to hold the roof rack and it's weight limit of 165 pounds.
Doubt I will ever load it that much, mostly just carry a few road bikes.

Understand that there is no specific information from Hyundai about the Ioniq and roof racks.
Imagine that its because the Hyundai Ioniq is made to get the most mpg's, and a roof rack
may affect those results. But in terms of safety, I see nothing to worry about.
Considering you follow the roof rack manufacturers instructions.

Hope this information helps you decide if a roof rack system is a good choice for your car.

Hi,

As suggested by Houseboatman + Saft on this forum, I've successfully installed the Thule Rapid system for my IONIQ Plugin last february to drive to the Alps.
You need 3 things:

1) Thule rapid system 754
(the bars foot, assembles easily onto vehicles without pre-existing roof rack attachment points)
https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/roof-rack/accessories/thule-rapid-system-754-_-754000

2) Thule rapid system Kit 1711
(the custom adapter kit for mounting a Thule roof rack system, this one is designed for the Kia K3 + Kia Cerato as specified on the box, but it does fit on the ioniq))
You have to adjust the settings found in the Kit 1711 manual, so that the bars (and your roof box) stand horizontal on the IONIQ curved roof.
And make sure the rubber part fits well on the ioniq roof, see my screenshot.

3) Thule bars
For example the nice wing bars
https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/roof-rack/roof-bars/thule-wingbar-969-_-969100

And as already warned in previous posts : roof racks are still not official for the IONIQ, we do this at our own risks...

I have always used the roofbox company for my roof bars and they now list roof bars for the ioniq https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/r..._128_924_775_/Qx@w,6M4gNax5vN1Yv0vegd3uHKJrgkQYUDS1@Zwrhlgo4NoQ5WO5d1v40.T5ib`1 Still not quite sure where and how you would fit these on though, trying to check for instructions.

Hi, new to the forum and had our Hyundai Ioniq Electric for a few months now. Having a roof rack would be awesome for transporting bikes. When we bought it the dealership just said no to every option to mount a bike carrier, have the UK tune changed or are we just doing it at our own risk of voiding the warranty?

 

[yticolev]

Own risk in the UK (have to believe it is minimal though, not total). No risk in the US unless rack can be proved to directly damage warranty component.

Ah right, cheers.

Pity. It's a pretty big own goal not allowing a family sedan to have any towing or roof rack capability as standard in the UK. Otherwise we've been very happy with our Ioniq.

 

[yticolev]

Roof rack kind of defeats the purpose of a high mpg car. Still, if Hyundai offered one, they would garner a few more sales in Britain. Strange they don't, but I'm sure it is not a structural thing.

Thanks for the info @Toomy75. Ordered a set here. Let's see how it all fits together.

Received the set last week. Put it together today. Because of the variable adjustable supports this fits nicely. You will need to adjust it to the car the first time because the numbers in the manual aren't for Ioniq.

 

[Patrick]

Used extra protection tape at the mountingpoints to make sure there is no damage done to the paintwork onder the clamps. The clamps are coated in rubber, but just to be sure.
