Expert Reply:

I recommend using a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 since they look really sleek and are pretty straightforward when it comes to the installation. Here are the parts you'll need:

- 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420
- Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501
- Fit Kit # TH68UK
- Lock Core Kit # TH450400 (optional)

If you don't already have a kayak carrier I highly recommend checking out the Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # KU53VR. These are your traditional J-Style carriers but they can fold for a lower profile when you aren't carrying your kayak around.
