The Hyundai i30 SW station wagon is a family favorite where a roof rack often solves the transport of bikes, skis, or extra luggage. Choose your vehicle generation and you will see sets designed directly for your roof.
When choosing a rack for the i30 SW, the manufacturing year from the vehicle registration document is decisive, because the various station wagon versions have different mounting methods. The older FD generation from 2007 to 2012 has raised rails that stand above the roof profile, allowing you to easily slide your hand underneath them.
For the PD generation, production of which began in 2017, the carmaker used flush rails. These lie directly against the bodywork and there is no gap between the rail and the sheet metal of the roof. Each of these solutions requires a different roof rack foot.
In our offer you will find crossbars with both steel and aluminum profiles. Aluminum profiles usually have a more aerodynamic shape and include an upper T-track into which bike or ski rack adapters are conveniently inserted. Steel bars offer a durable construction, and accessories are usually mounted to them using U-bolts.
What exactly a specific set delivery includes and what mounting procedure it requires can be found in the detail of individual products.
The station wagon body has a relatively low build, making both roof boxes and bike racks convenient to load directly from the ground. When mounting a longer roof box, check its position relative to the rear of the car. Move the box far enough forward so that the tailgate does not hit it when opened.
If you are carrying heavier luggage, remember that the total roof load capacity also includes the weight of the crossbars and the box itself. You can find the permitted limit in the vehicle manual.
If you have a model from 2007 to 2012, choose FD generation with raised rails. For newer vehicles starting production in 2017, go to PD generation with flush rails. If you are looking for a rack for the hatchback version, check out the Hyundai i30 model or the entire Hyundai brand offer.
Choose the appropriate vehicle generation and select the set suitable for your car.
