Although both the Curt # C77NR and # C37BR both look to be identical there is a small difference in the # C77NR that allows it to be compatible with 2022 and 2023 Kia Niro models, whereas the # C37BR is only compatible with 2022 models. view full answer...
We do have a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2022 Kia Niro Touring hybrid, from Curt, and it is the following part number:

I have a great alternative bike rack for your Lectric 2.0 XP 3-inch fat bike. Unfortunately, with your fenders and rear platform, I do not recommend the Saris SuperClamp HD 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SAR44VR because the wheel-mount ratcheting hooks will increase the risk of damage or cracking to your fenders during transport.
With that being said, the safest way to transport your bike via a hitch is by a frame-mount attachment method. For a great alternative, I recommend the... 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...
I would be happy to find you a hitch and help clear up the confusion regarding our fitguide. We get updated information throughout the year on newer model vehicles and the hybrids are typically the information that changes the most. I checked with Curt and we do have a hitch for your 2022 Kia Niro Plug In Hybrid. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C37BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware. This is the only hitch that Curt or anyone else... 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...
We do have a trailer hitch option for a 2020 Kia Niro EV but not the PHEV. If you have the EV then you can use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36600 which is our only available option. It has a 1-1/4" opening which will work great for towing or hitch mounted accessories. view full answer...
Yes, to install a Thule Aeroblade roof rack on your 2018 Kia Niro you only need the three parts mentioned and you'd be set with everything needed. You'll need the:
Thule AeroBlade Load Bars # TH711220
Thule Fit Kit # TH57JV
Thule Feet # TH710601 view full answer...
The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085 is not rated by the manufacturer to carry carbon fiber bikes so we list it as such. Frame mounted bike racks tend to damage carbon fiber bike frames so instead I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # RKY10003. The front-mounted, easy-release lever allows a single person to tilt and fold the rack to access rear cargo area without having to remove... view full answer...
I do have a bike rack option that will work with two electric bikes and be compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 you were looking at for your 2019 Kia Niro, but none of the available bike racks will not set off the rear back up sensors on your vehicle. There is not a way to modify the hitch to make it work with the sensors, as the sensors sense a very wide area behind the vehicle. Your only option will be to turn off the sensors with the rack installed, or to just ignore... view full answer...
While there are several options available for the 2020 Kia Niro, the EV model of this year/make does not support the attachment of a hitch. May I suggest consideration of a trunk mount style bike rack, such as the Yakima FullBack 3 bike rack, # Y02633 or the 2 bike model # Y02634. The FullBack models have adjustable arms helping to keep bikes level during transport and the interlocking HUB lets you adjust fit to different vehicles.
There is a wide assortment of roof rack options available... view full answer...
Yes, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118749 has been confirmed to work on your 2022 Kia Niro EV. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for use on most small trailers, and will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your tail lights.
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36600 is the class II receiver we have that is also confirmed to fit your Niro. Draw-Tite recommends using the Ball Mount # 36071 with either a... 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 best trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Kia Niro is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 because this is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver. This is really important because when using it for accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers, a 2 inch receiver is going to have a much wider range of higher-quality options to choose from.
For example, there are currently five times as many cargo carriers that fit a 2 inch hitch than a 1-1/4 inch hitch and... view full answer...
For your 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid the Draw Tite hitch part # 36600 does fit. You are correct there are only hybrid models of the Niro and this hitch only doesn't fit the plug in hybrids. view full answer...
I have a great roof rack for your 2021 Kia Niro. It is the 2021 Kia Niro Roof Rack by Thule.
The roof rack includes:
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - Black - 47" Long - Qty 2 item # TH711220. The aero-style steel crossbars are aerodynamic and teardrop shaped that help to create a quiet roof rack system.
Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 6076 item # TH57JV.
Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails item # TH710601. These are custom fit for your Kia. view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13329 is not listed as a fit for the Plug In Hybrid versions of the 2019 Kia Niro although we had one customer come back and say they were able to install it on a plug in version but they had to modify the hitch and the vehicle to do so. view full answer...
For a floor protector that will cover the entirety of the rear cargo on your 2019 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid (which wouldn't be considered the EV) your best option is with the etrailer Cargo Area Protector # e98877. This is more of a universal cover, but it's confirmed to fit your Niro and it's really the only cover available that's designed to cover all the space you're wanting protected with those rear seats folded down. I have attached a sample image of it used in this manner.

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.
