The Škoda Advantage
A major advantage of Škoda is the consistent 75 kg roof capacity for most models. This makes planning easy – you know that most Wild Land models up to 66 kg will fit (with margin for roof bar weight of 3-7 kg).
Roof Capacity by Škoda Model
Here are the general roof capacities for different Škoda models. Note that this is dynamic load (while driving) – the static load (stationary) is significantly higher.
| Model | Dynamic roof capacity | Suitable for roof tent? |
|---|---|---|
| Enyaq | 75 kg | |
| Elroq | 75 kg | |
| Fabia | 75 kg | |
| Karoq | 75 kg | |
| Kodiaq | 75 kg | |
| Octavia | 50-80 kg |
⚠️ Important: These values are general guidelines. Always verify your specific car's roof capacity in the owner's manual or on car.info by searching your license plate.
