Palisade roof side rails and crossbars

The manual's Roof Side Rails section says that if your vehicle is equipped with roof side rails, you can add roof rack crossbars as an accessory.

Hyundai's Palisade page shows Genuine Accessory crossbars for the 2027 Palisade, mounted across the roof side rails (pictured above).

From the Roof Side Rails section of the 2027 Palisade owner's manual (page 308, listed as if equipped) and Hyundai Motor America's Palisade page, November 11, 2026.

Palisade roof side rail load limit

From the warning in the Roof Side Rails section of the 2027 Palisade owner's manual. Loading cargo or luggage in excess of the specified weight limit on the roof side rails may damage your vehicle.

Driving with cargo on the roof

The vehicle's center of gravity is higher when items are loaded onto the roof side rails. The manual says to avoid sudden starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or high speeds that may result in loss of vehicle control or rollover, and to always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carrying items on the roof side rails.

Severe wind updrafts caused by passing vehicles or natural causes can cause sudden upward pressure on items loaded on the roof side rails, especially large, flat items such as wood panels or mattresses. That may cause the items to fall off and damage your vehicle or others around you. To prevent damage or loss of cargo, check frequently before or while driving that the items on the roof side rails are securely fastened.

Loading tips from the manual

Palisade overall height

Before a trip with cargo on top, start from the overall height in the manual's Dimensions table, then add your cargo, and crossbars if they are not already part of your roof rack:

Figures as listed in the Dimensions table of the 2027 Palisade owner's manual (page 638), where the second value in each cell is marked For XRT Pro. The antenna section also says to check the vehicle's height before entering low-ceiling spaces such as automated parking lots or automated washing machines.

Roof cargo and the vehicle load limit

The label on the driver's door jamb shows the vehicle capacity weight, which the manual defines as the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo; if your vehicle is equipped with a trailer, the combined weight includes the tongue load. The 2027 manual lists 1,212 lbs. (550 kg) for 7-passenger and 1,323 lbs. (600 kg) for 8-passenger versions. Roof cargo is still cargo, so count it in that figure, and use the figure on your own vehicle's label.

The manual adds that seating capacity may be reduced based on the weight of all the occupants and the cargo being carried or towed, and says not to overload the vehicle.
