There is most certainly a Thule roof rack fit for your 2022 Kia Niro. I recommend going with the style that overhangs the legs of the kit so that you don't lose any real-estate for mounting your accessories. Here are the parts you will need:
WingBar Evo 47" Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH57JV
Lock Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
If you plan on using the rack for carrying a bike then I recommend checking out the Yakima HighRoad... view full answer...
Some couplers have an adjustable tension against the hitch ball from the trigger latch system. I recommend looking into that first as it will help keep the ball tighter within the connection. The lightweight trailer actually works against you on this noise because more tongue weight would keep pressure on the hitch ball and minimize that movement from a bump.
If there is movement of the ball mount then an anti-rattle like # 63232 for a 2 inch receiver will help by keeping the ball... view full answer...
For your 2023 Kia Niro UT we only have universal trailer wiring harnesses that are confirmed as a fit like the Curt # C59236 which requires splicing into the taillight circuits. view full answer...
If the cause of the premature failure is attributed to towing outside of the manufacturers recommend paraments then they can void the powertrain warranty. For example, if the towing capacity is listed at 2,000 lbs and they can prove you were towing a trailer in excess of this which caused said damage then they can void the warranty. If they do not recommend towing at all and can prove you towed with the vehicle then again, they can void the warranty. That said, installing an aftermarket... view full answer...
I do have an alternative option for you, but there is not currently a trailer hitch receiver available for your 2021 Kia Niro PHEV.
I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 which is a confirmed fit for your Niro PHEV and will allow you to transport up to two bikes weighing in at 35lbs or less. While this is not the hitch mounted carrier you were expecting, this is a very viable option to still allow you to carry your bikes.

I have a roof rack solution that does fit your 2023 Kia Niro with flush bars but the Malone racks require a raised rail like you mentioned so it would not work. Instead you'd need a rack designed to attach to the flush rails like with the Yakima CoreBar roof rack part numbers # Y00421, # Y64AR, and # Y27AR which is a similar aero shaped crossbar to the Malone. view full answer...
I do have a great option for you, however there isn't a trailer hitch available that's designed to fit your 2019 Kia Niro PHEV (plug-in Hybrid).
With this in mind your best option for transporting a couple bikes is with a trunk-mount bike rack. For this I highly recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is an extremely nice carrier that features SuperCush anti-sway cradles that will hold the bikes at 3 different points for a stable... view full answer...
Yes, the Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 118749 is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Kia Niro EV and would work great. This is the easiest to install and most reliable kit available. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The best trailer hitch for your 2018 Kia Niro is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 because of its hidden crosstube and because it is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver, which gives you many more options for accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers than any of the other trailer hitches that fit your Niro, each of which have a 1-1/4" receiver.
The accompanying photo shows the hitch installed on a Niro, and I have also added a link to a video installation of this hitch... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt hitch part # C77NR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Kia Niro EX HEV. This would be just what you would need. view full answer...
From what I found in the owner's manual, on FWD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the front wheels off the ground. For a tow dolly for your 2022 Kia Niro I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093.
This dolly will accommodate the weight and width of your vehicle. It comes with hydraulic disc brakes and a full LED DOT lighting package. The only additional... view full answer...
To carry a bike with your 2018 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid we'll need to go with a roof rack as there are not trailer hitches that fit the Plug-In Hybrid model. I really like the Thule roof racks because they are easy to install, look really sleek, and are a high-quality product. For your application you need the WingBar Edge that uses the following parts:
WingBar Edge Crossbars - Black # TH96FE or Silver # TH93RE
Edge Flush Rail Feet - # TH89SC
Fit Kit - # TH57JV
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400... view full answer...
We have tow bar wiring solutions that will work great on your 2019 Kia Niro but trailer wiring does not work in reverse so you wouldn't be able to use the kit you mentioned.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
I do have an option for you depending on use but we don't offer a trailer hitch for a 2020 Kia Niro PHEV and I don't know of anyone who does. The hybrid components interfere with the trailer hitch installation and there are no workarounds for this I'm aware of. Therefore, your only options for this vehicle are cargo carrying or bike racks and this can be done on the roof with a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar System part # TH96FE, part # TH89SC, and part # TH57JV.

The only way to carry 4 bikes will be to add a roof rack and roof bike rack carriers. Unfortunately, there is no hitch available for a 2019 Kia Niro.
The Rhino Rack Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and Legs # RRSX026 will fit your 2019 Niro and has a 175 pound capacity. The Swagman Race Ready Roof Bike Rack # S64705, which you would need four of, would then attach directly to the roof rack and you would be all set to go.
A potential add-on will be the Rightline Gear Moki Door Step # RL100660. This... view full answer...
We have similar bike racks to the Swagman XTC4 that you mentioned that can be used in either a 2 bike or 4 bike configuration like the Swagman Quad 2+2 part # S64FR but the XTC4 can not be reduced down to a 2 bike rack.

I have a possible solution for you, but there is not a trailer hitch receiver available at this time for your 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid. If you were wanting to mount accessories on the receiver such as a bike rack or cargo rack, then you could look into a roof rack for these accessories. For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2 along with the necessary Leg Kit # RRSX026 to attach them to your roof. This connects to the... view full answer...
Not all models of the 2019 Kia Niro have an auxiliary battery at the rear of them which is why a power wire wasn't ran to it when installing the part # 118749. If you have a PHEV which has the second battery you could do this. view full answer...
The correct trailer wiring harness you'd want for your 2017 Kia Niro is the Curt kit part # C56376 which comes with connectors that were specifally designed for your vehicle.
