Roof tent for Skoda Kodiaq

Q: Does this car have enough roof load capacity

The Skoda Kodiaq is a popular family SUV for camping trips, and its higher ride height can make rougher access roads easier when you want to reach quieter places in nature. Most Kodiaq versions are listed with a roof load of around 75 kg, which can work well for SNAILER hard-shell tents when the right roof bars are used. Kodiaq I 2017-2024 uses raised roof rails, while Kodiaq II from 2024 onward uses a more integrated flush-rail style roof setup. For SNAILER hard-shell tents, the key is not only the vehicle limit, but also the approved load of the exact bars fitted to those rails. Always confirm the roof-load value in the owner's manual/handbook or vehicle technical certificate, if it is listed there for the specific car, especially if you have Kodiaq II from 2024 onward or an accessory roof system.

Q: What roof bars do I need for this car to install a rooftop tent?

Kodiaq I from 2017-2024 normally needs raised-rail bars. Kodiaq II from 2024 onward needs a flush-rail bar kit for the integrated rail design. Thule, Yakima or approved model-specific bars are the safest starting points, as long as the selected system is rated for the required load and bar spread. Roof bars on a larger SUV like the Kodiaq usually weigh around 6-7 kg, so check the complete setup - tent, bars and mounting hardware together. Universal roof bars from our range can also be used on Kodiaq I 2017-2024 with raised roof rails and on Kodiaq II 2024 onward with flush rails. Do not mix the 2017-2024 raised-rail setup with the 2024 onward flush-rail setup, because the bar feet are different.
