The Picanto is an agile city car whose boot quickly reaches its limits when carrying larger loads. Choosing a suitable roof rack begins by determining the correct generation according to the year of manufacture.
Our offer includes crossbars for two generations of this model. The second generation, designated as TA, rolled off the production lines from 2011 to 2017. The third generation with the code JA started production in 2017. The generation change brought adjustments to the roof shape and door frame, which is why each of these cars requires a different mounting kit. The actual year of manufacture from the vehicle registration document is decisive, not the date of first registration.
Both generations of the Picanto use a bare roof design. The car does not come with any factory-fitted permanent mounting elements on the surface, so the rack feet are secured under the body lip above the doors. Proper seating is ensured by shaped contact surfaces and brackets designed specifically for the given door frame type. Before purchasing, we recommend checking the assembly components directly in the product detail, where you will find mounting information.
A roof rack turns a small car into a practical helper for transporting items on holiday or to a cottage. Bicycle holders or compact roof boxes for packing bags or sports gear are commonly mounted on the Picanto's roof. A major advantage of the low body is comfortable access, as you can easily reach the entire loading area directly from the ground when loading bikes and luggage.
If you are choosing a rack for another vehicle of the same brand, check out models such as Kia Rio, Kia Stonic, Kia Ceed or the entire Kia category.
Click on the generation Picanto TA (2011 to 2017) or Picanto JA (from 2017) and choose crossbars tailored precisely for your car.
