About the car: Hyundai i20 BC3, from 2020
The BC3 generation, the third generation of the i20, began production for Europe in August 2020 at the Izmit plant in Turkey. The body is only a 5-door hatchback, and the facelift was presented on 10 May 2023.
The roof has no factory roof rails, which is why the roof bars attach to the car body, with feet fixed on the door frames. The official BC3 manual (2021 edition) states 70 kg on the roof bars, distributed evenly, and for the Tema set the value that counts is the limit of the bars, 50 kg.
What we fitted on this Hyundai i20
The set is Menabo Tema Aluminium roof bars for Hyundai i20 (BC3), 5-door, 2020+ model. The bars are 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide, and the set weighs 5.2 kg. It includes 2 bars, 4 feet, 4 fitting kits with locks and keys, plus the Allen key.
On the Tema bars you can fit bike racks, roof boxes, ski racks or kayak & canoe carriers. Accessories with T-bolt fitting are fixed in the 20 mm T-track, and those with U-bolt fitting attach around the outside of the bar. For the fitting steps, read our guide to fitting on roof bars.
Technical details and what to watch for
- Capacity: 50 kg, according to the manufacturer.
- Dimensions: 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide, oval and aerodynamic profile.
- Weight: 5.2 kg for the set of two bars.
- Useful calculation: the weight of the accessory fitted (rack or box) is subtracted from the 50 kg, so less remains for luggage.
