Expert Answers about Kia Niro

• Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2022 Kia Niro
• 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...

• What is Tongue Weight Capacity of Curt Hitch that Fits 2017 Kia Niro
• The Curt hitch part # C13329 that you referenced is a fit for the 2017 Kia Niro and has a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs. You'd have to make sure the weight of the carrier and the scooter is less than 525 lbs and if so this would work well.

• Can Trailer Wiring for 2019 Kia Niro be Used as Tow Bar Wiring in Reverse
• 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...

• Is There a Hitch Available for a 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid to Carry a Bike Rack?
• 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...

• Does Install of Curt Hitch on 2021 Kia Niro Require Enlarging Hitch Holes
• We've had the chance to install the Curt hitch part # C13329 on several Kia Niros and did not have to enlarge the holes of the hitch for it to fit so I would not anticipate that being an issue. Check out the install video link I attached on this page for more info.

• Best Way to Carry Bikes on a 2018 Kia Niro That Will Allow Rear Cargo Access
• I have a solution for you, but there are no trunk mounted bike racks that will allow you to open the hatch with bikes still attached to it. The other issue you're going to run up against is that most Kia Niro models have a spoiler at the back of the vehicle that makes attaching truck mounted bike racks problematic and not advisable. The best solution for carrying bikes is adding a trailer hitch to your 2018 Kia Niro like the Curt # C13329 and then using a swing away bike carrier like the...

• Recommended Bike Rack For 2021 Kia Niro PHEV
• 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 included a video...

• Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Kia Niro PHEV
• 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. I have...

• Trailer Hitch Capacity for 2017 Kia Niro
• We have a Class III hitch confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Kia Nira, part # C13329 which has a 3,500 lb trailer capacity. What you will need to do is check your owners manual for the towing capacity that Kia recommends. If it's lower than the hitch capacity you have to go by the lower rated figure as the overall capacity. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56376. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with...

• Recommended Aftermarket Towing Products that Wont Void Vehicle Warranty on 2017 Kia Niro
• Adding a trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13329 that bolts on to the frame of your 2017 Kia Niro will not void your warranty from Kia. You are covered under federal law. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have...

• Aero Bar Roof Rack that Fits 2023 Kia Niro PHEV
• 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.

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2022 Kia Niro (Non Plug-In Hybrid or EV)
• I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e33AR for your 2022 Kia Niro because it has the hidden crosstube and matte black finish so you get a great looking hitch that's also more durable than the standard glossy black finish. If you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR. This rack is a premium option as the tilting/folding functions are easy to use and the ratcheting arms with hydro-pneumatic pistons make...

• Recommended Bike Rack For Two E-Bikes On 2019 Kia Niro W/ Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13329
• 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...

• Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 Kia Niro
• 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...
