In brief

- Fitted: Menabo Dedicate OE aluminium roof bars, oval profile, silver and black.

About the car: Toyota RAV4 5th generation (XA50)
The Toyota RAV4 XA50 was presented at the New York International Auto Show in March 2018 and came off the production line between November 2018 and December 2025. Toyota built it on the GA-K platform, the first time the brand used it on an SUV. In September 2021 the facelift for the 2022 model year arrived, with new LED headlights, and the Adventure version also appeared in Europe at that point.
For roof bars on the RAV4 XA50, the type of roof the car has is what matters. Some cars have a bare roof, others have low roof rails flush with the roof, as the Active trim has as standard. The car in this fitting is of the second kind. Dedicated fitting kits attach to this type of roof rails, and the Menabo Dedicate OE comes with fittings made for the RAV4 XA50, 2018+.
What we fitted on this Toyota RAV4
We chose the Menabo Dedicate OE aluminium roof bars for the Toyota RAV4 XA50, a complete set: 2 aluminium roof bars of 1,130 mm, 4 dedicated fitting kits and the Allen key. Each roof bar is 80 mm wide and 30 mm high, and the product sheet gives a weight of 4 kg.
The oval section gives the roof bars an aerodynamic profile, which helps reduce noise on the road and drag. A 20 mm T-track runs along the whole length, and takes the accessories. The mounting is fixed and secure, with no play, and the set has a lock and is TÜV tested, with ISO/PAS 11154:2006 and DIN 75302 approvals.
