What Car? Q&A - How much weight can roof rails carry?

27 July 2006
Q: Can you tell me the maximum weight that can be carried on the roof rails of the Rover 75 Club Tourer, the Mazda Premacy and the Kia Rio?
Darren Wright


A: The Rover 75 Club Tourer's maximum roof load is 100kg and the Kia Rio's maximum is 75kg.
Mazda's Premacy five-seater has a maximum load of 100kg, but the seven-seater version cannot take any weight on the roof. With seven passengers on board, any other weight would take the car beyond the legal limit.
