Best Yakima Roof Rack For a 2027 Hyundai Tucson

Published 10/27/2026

Question:

I have a 2027 Hyundai Tucson and Im looking to add a roof rack for carrying a cargo box and possibly a couple of kayaks. Will the Yakima Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit Y985VV fit my Tucson, and does it include everything needed for installation? Also, when will the roof rack be available?

Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Yakima Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit # Y985VV is exactly what you'll need for your 2027 Hyundai Tucson. It is a full roof rack kit so you get your crossbars, towers and custom fit kit - everything you need to install and use the rack. It's a great starting point for carrying accessories like a roof-mounted cargo box, kayak carrier, or bike rack, giving you some extra cargo space without filling up the inside of your SUV.

The important thing when loading up the roof is to stay within Hyundai's roof load limit and the Yakima rack's capacity, whichever is lower. You'll also want to make sure any accessories you add are compatible with the aero crossbars.

Also, this rack isn't available quite yet. As of right now we are expecting them to be available to ship by January 2027.

What kind of cargo box and kayaks do you have?
