We Put the Nextgen Tucson Roof Rack to the Ultimate Test

After three weeks of pushing the Nextgen Roof Rack Cross Bars to their limits, we’re honestly impressed. Installed on our 2023 Tucson Hybrid Limited, these crossbars handled everything from our family’s overpacked luggage to a pair of kayaks during our coastal weekend getaway.

The lockable mechanism gave us peace of mind when parking in unfamiliar areas, and we noticed minimal wind noise even at highway speeds. Installation took us about 20 minutes without any specialized tools, though the instructions could be clearer on torque specifications.

We particularly appreciated how the bars maintained their integrity during a sudden downpour – no water infiltration into our rooftop cargo box. The weight capacity easily accommodated our gear, and the aerodynamic design seems to have minimal impact on our fuel economy.
