We do indeed have a 2 inch hitch that works with the 2022 Kia Niro PHEV. You'll want to use the Curt 13497 Class III hitch, which we carry as part # C37BR. If your Thule rack is compatible with a 1-1/4 inch hitch, you'll want to use a reducer sleeve like # e63YR.

I recommend Rhino-Rack aluminum crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX026 that mount to the Niro's side rails. The bars of the Rhino Rack system have a capacity of 176 lbs which is the highest capacity bar you will find for the Kia with the best price. The Rhino rack system also comes with the vortex strips in the C-channels reduce wind noise much like the Rola rack you mentioned.

Yes! I called my tech at Draw-Tite, and he confirmed that the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36600 fits a hybrid model of 2021 Kia Niro. view full answer...
It will not, unfortunately the trailer hitches we offer for the 2021 Kia Niro aren't compatible with plug in hybrid electric vehicles A/K/A PHEV's as the structure at the rear of the vehicle is different enough that the hitch won't fit.
If you were needing a hitch to carry bikes, I'd recommend a trunk mounted bike rack, like the Yakima FullBack 2-bike model, part # Y02634 or for a 3-bike model, use # Y02633. I've linked to a demonstration video for the Yakima FullBack trunk mounted bike... view full answer...
I contacted the manufacturer and there is not an option that will allow you to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbars on your 2023 Kia Niro.
The Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH57JV you asked about, which works with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601 does work with the AeroBlade crossbars but they do not work with your 2023 Kia Niro.
We do not currently have an option from Thule for your 2023 Kia Niro, but we do have an option from Yakima.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR will be the receiver which fits your 2023 Kia Niro hybrid. The Draw-Tite # DT79YR will not fit your Niro.
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is the common connector found on small trailers you may tow. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you use a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack which can impair the view of your tail lights. view full answer...
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...
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...
We can get your 2017 Kia Niro set up with a trailer hitch receiver, wiring harness and rest of the parts needed so you can safely tow a small trailer for your move. The hitch does not come with the harness, ball mount, or hitch ball, but I can tell you exactly what you will need, including the Curt hitch you mentioned.

The Draw Tite hitch part # 36600 that fits your 2022 Kia Niro electric also fits versions with the gas engine which is why instructions mention exhaust. That step in your case would just need to be skipped. view full answer...
For your 2018 Kia Niro, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4412B.
This has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike, so you won't have any stability issues with your bikes since they are less than 60lbs each.
The Saris would not require an adapter bar, however, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 would require one.
If your ebike tires are over 2 1/4" wide, I recommend the Fat Tire Adapter Kit For Saris Freedom Bike Racks # SA4419. This adapter kit would allow up to... view full answer...

I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118749 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way connection allowing you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Blue Ox who said that they don't have any stipulations about using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW0350 with an aluminum frame trailer. Just note that you also need a hitch ball with this setup like the 2" # A-90 or the 2-5/16" # 19286. You also want to make sure that the loaded tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle doesn't exceed the 350 lb tongue weight rating for... view full answer...
Noah is wrong and Gregory is correct. The Draw-Tite hitch will not fit the hybrid and was actually discontinued for a redesign. The hitch you need for your 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR. Regardless, I would recommend the Curt over the other since it has a 2" receiver which gives you better options for both towing and accessories compared to a 1-1/4" receiver. view full answer...
We have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR which is custom fit for your 2024 Kia Niro. This will give you a 2" receiver opening for a large selection of Ball Mounts # C45534 and hitch mounted accessories like a Bike Rack # NV22G.

The wiring harness fits we have for the 2018 Kia Niro, which include Curt part # C56376 and Tekonsha part # 118749 that you purchased, specifically exclude fitment on the plug-in hybrid version of the car. You'll see this notice on the linked page. If you have the plug-in hybrid we do not have a trailer wiring harness for it.

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...
