To haul both kayaks and bikes on your 2024 Subaru Impreza you'll need a roof rack and trailer hitch/bike rack. Starting with the trailer hitch, if you don't currently have one then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11465. This hitch has a 200lb tongue weight capacity and 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. A bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR could be used to haul your bikes, as long as your bikes weigh less 35lbs or less. If you could provide more info on your bikes I'd be happy to recommend an option that better suits your needs.

For the roof rack we currently only have a fit for a naked roof. If you have no rails that run front to back on your Impreza then you'll need the following components:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
Landing Pad 22 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00248

Once the rack is installed you can then use some single-kayak carriers like the etrailer Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # e98878 or multi-kayak carrier like the Malone FoldAway-5 # MAL38FR.
