Low horsepower car and roof top tent?

I drive a Skoda Fabia (5J) with only 44kW/~60 horsepower.

I found a tent that would fit the roof weight and also fitting bars etc.

The only thing I’m genuinely worried about is how much my car will struggle with the tent. It’s already tough to drive up mountains and I assume it will be even worse with the tent.

Does anyone have a car with similar hp and can share their experience?

Unfortunately the car is kinda too small to sleep inside of it so the only other option would be to stick with a normal tent. Which is pretty time consuming and exhausting if you sleep at a different spot every night.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
