The Kia Sportage has a roof rack weight capacity of 165 pounds, which is pretty standard. The limit is determined by the strength of the roof itself, so it's best not to place heavy items in the center of the roof as it could damage the metal in that area. With a weight rating of 165 pounds, you should be fine to transport items like skis or snowboards, as well as luggage in a rooftop carrier as long as you stay within the weight limit.
I recently purchased a tent for off-road camping. I own a 2014 Kia Sportage. Will my car be able to handle the weight of the tent?
The roof rack on the 2020 Kia Sportage typically handles a weight of around 110 pounds on average.
