Best Cross Compatible Roof Rack For A Leased 2020 Mazda CX-5

Question:

My 2020 CX-5 has the raised rails. Since it's a lease I want something I could hopefully reuse on my next vehicle. Anything you would recommend for this

The most cross compatible option to fit both your current and a variety of vehicles in the future is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. It's versatile design allows it to mount anywhere on your vehicle's roof, glass, or trunk. Installation is super easy with (6) 6" vacuum cups plus the crossbar spreads can be quickly customized to accommodate a variety of gear.

Another option to consider depending on your preference or the color scheme of your CX-5, the Malone Roof Rack in Black # MPG201 or Silver # MPG216 is my recommendation. They are versatile crossbars to accommodate accessories that mount in the T-slots or clamp around the bars.

The aero bar design is more wind resistant and will produce less road noise than other round or square bar options. Plus they look great on a variety of modern vehicle styles so odds are good these will be a great fit for your next lease or purchased vehicle that must also have raised rails.
