About the car: Kia Stonic, first generation (YB)
The first-generation Kia Stonic, with the internal code YB, is a 5-door hatchback crossover. Production started in 2017 and the model is still being built, on the Hyundai-Kia GB platform. The second facelift was presented on 1 September 2025.
The cars we fitted have no factory roof rails, so the roof bars fix directly to the body, in the door frames. The roof box does not fit on the roof itself, but on the roof bars. So the type of roof matters when choosing the roof bar set, and fitting always starts with the roof bars.
What we fitted on this Kia Stonic
On the Stonic we fitted Menabo Delta roof bars and a Menabo Marathon roof box. The exact specifications of each product, dimensions, weights and fitting systems, are on the product pages at suportbicicleta.ro, in the categories below: roof bars and roof boxes.
The roof box fixes to roof bars, so the roof bars must be fitted before the roof box. The general steps are in the the guide to fitting bike racks on roof bars, and to choose a roof box you can read the guide with 6 reasons to buy a roof box.
Technical details and what to watch for
- First check whether the Menabo Delta roof bars and the Menabo Marathon roof box fit the first-generation Kia Stonic. The exact specifications are on each product's page.
- Useful calculation: the weight of the roof box is subtracted from the maximum load of the roof bars. What remains is for luggage.
- Fit the roof bars first, then the roof box, and follow the steps in the product instructions.
- The total height of the car increases with the roof bars and roof box fitted. Check the height before underground car parks or barriers.
- Before setting off, check the fittings are firm and that the luggage is well secured in the box.
