The one roof rack I like the most for your 2020 Honda Civic hatchback is from Rhino-Rack. The reason I like this option the best for your Civic is because it is the best value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars.
The parts that make up the Rhino-Rack roof rack that fits your 2020 Honda Civic hatchback are the following:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK485
The Rhino-Rack gives your Civic aero-shaped crossbars with rubberized vortex strips on top which disrupt the air flowing over the bars, which is an important aspect of the rack because it helps eliminate the whistling nose that can occur with other styles of crossbar. The bars are also made from anodized aluminum, which is not only rustproof but extremely durable, as evidenced by their lifetime warranty.
The Rhino-Rack crossbars are 49" long, which is plenty of space for a bike rack, a cargo basket, or even both at the same time, depending on the rack and basket. For example, if you wanted both you could easily fit the 4" wide Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack # RU01 and 42" wide Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB02.
