Expert Answers about Kia Seltos


  • What is the Difference Between the Thule WingBar EVO Bars and the Competitor Crossbars?
  • Compared to the other aero crossbars, the Thule WingBar EVO Crossbars # TH711300 include a top-of-the-line design and materials. The WingBar EVO Crossbars are made with a TrailEdge shape and have WindDiffuser strips that help with maintaining air resistance. Another feature that sets them apart from competitor aero bars is the rust-proof materials compared to the simple corrosion-proof materials of the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2....

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness Compatibility With a 2021 Kia Seltos
  • For your Seltos I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65GR. This 2" receiver is custom fit for all trims levels of your Seltos and will attach your frame using existing holes that are already in your frame. There will be some minor trimming of an underbody panel to complete the installation. I have linked a copy of those instructions below for you to reference as we currently do not have an installation video for your Seltos. I recommend installing the Curt Wiring...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2022 Kia Seltos
  • I would be happy to assist you in choosing the best wiring kit for your 2022 Kia Seltos! The Curt Trailer Hitch # C65FR that you have is an excellent hitch choice, but when it comes to wiring I recommend going with the Curt # C89KR over the Tekonsha wiring simply because Curt electric products tend to last longer and require less troubleshooting than Tekonsha electrical products do. In addition to this wiring I also recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 so...

  • Trailer Hitch Wiring That Fits 2021 Kia Seltos
  • While we do have trailer hitch wiring for your 2021 Kia Seltos, wiring is vehicle-specific so will only fit the cars and trucks it is designed for. So the wiring for a Ford Focus won't fit your Seltos; instead, for a 4-way on your Seltos, here is exactly what you will need: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C89KR

  • Plug In Wiring Harness For A 2024 Kia Seltos
  • Yes there is! For a plug-in 4-way wiring harness for your 2024 Kia Seltos we have the Curt T-Connector # C89KR. I just checked with the manufacturer and confirmed that this will fit all models of the 2024 Kia Seltos. It will plug in behind the tail lights on the driver and passenger side. A wire will need to be run to the battery to power the converter box. You will find one of our install videos for the Curt # C89KR linked below.

  • Is there a 2 Hitch for a 2023 Kia Seltos?
  • No, there is not. The only hitch available for the 2023 Kia Seltos is the Curt item # C65FR. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper leaving only the 1-1/4" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance. I have attach a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2022 Kia Seltos with Bare Roof
  • For the best roof rack for your 2022 Kia Seltos with a bare roof, I recommend the following setup: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack # Y06130 - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06132 - (Optional for extra theft-deterrence) Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204 With the Yakima JetStream crossbars, you will have an extremely aerodynamic roof rack system...

  • Recommended 2" Hitch for a 2021 Kia Seltos
  • Yes, we do! There is one 2" hitch that fits the 2021 Kia Seltos and it is the Draw-Tite item # DT65GR. It is slightly backordered to next month because of Draw-Tite's parent company being bought out and the logistical nightmare it has caused. The Draw-Tite item # DT65GR has a 3,000 lbs towing capacity and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight so plenty of capacity for a bike rack. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. I have linked the installation instructions...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Kia Seltos
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2021 Kia Seltos is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR. I really like this hitch because its crosstube is concealed behind the bumper, as you can see by the accompanying photo. That means that only the receiver is going to show, which maintains the clean look of your '21 Seltos. I have added a link to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR. Additionally, if you are looking to add...

  • Roof Rack For Flush Rails On My 2021 Kia Seltos
  • Yes! You can use the Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 with the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and then this fit kit # TH25JV which will mount into her flush rail feet! These will be just as low profile and mount similarly to her flush rails as the Rola REX mounting roof rack 59786.

  • Distance from Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver to Rear of Bumper on 2022 Kia Seltos
  • The center of the hitch pin hole to the rear of the bumper on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C65FR is 8". If this does not provide you with enough clearance, and your bike rack can also fit a 2" hitch, you may be able to use an extender like the # D189 assuming your bike rack permits the use of an extender. The only problem with this solution would be the reduction of the capacity of the hitch. Use of an extender will reduce the capacity by 50%, so your...

  • 2021 And 2024 Kia Seltos - Will C65FR Hitch Installation Process Be The Same?
  • Yes, the installation video of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C65FR will be virtually identical between the 2021 and 2024 models of the Kia Seltos. This trailer hitch has been confirmed for the 2024 model, and there will not be any additional steps required for this model year. We just have not got our hands on a 2024 model yet in order to shoot a video. Keep in mind that you will have to do some trimming of the plastic underbody panel during installation. I have linked our 2021 install video,...

  • 2021 Kia Seltos Trailer Hitch Options
  • Many carriers for mobility scooters/wheelchairs will be rated up to at least 400 if not 500 lbs. in order to meet their intended purpose. Because this carrier and its load are directly on the hitch itself, manufacturers will state the need for a 2" receiver and class III hitch. Some Class II hitches will have the 2" receiver and there are adaptors to change from the 1-1/4" to 2", such as the # HTAD but in doing so this cuts down the tongue weight capacity. The weight load is what is...

  • Ground Clearance Of Hitch On 2021 Kia Seltos Compared to Kia Soul
  • We have not yet had a chance to install a hitch on a 2021 Kia Seltos, specifically the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C65FR so I do not know specific ground clearance measurements. However, you will not have the same clearance issues you had with the Kia Soul with the Curt trailer hitch on a Seltos. The Seltos has about a 1-1/2" more ground clearance in the back compared to a Kia Soul. The Curt hitch also sits flush with the bumper and does not hang down. I have attached an installation...

  • Lowest Roof Rack Fit For 2022 Kia Seltos with Flush Rail System
  • The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 will fit your 2022 Kia Seltos if your version of the vehicle has the raised side rails with space underneath them - Malone calls this out on their website as well. If you have the naked roof or the flush rails (even tall rails with no space underneath them) then you cannot use the AirFlow2. From our previous interaction it sounds like you have the flush rails with no space underneath them on your Seltos. Thule has a roof rack fit that's probably the...
