Expert Answers about Kia Niro


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Will Backup Sensors and Camera Be Affected When Transporting Bikes on 2019 Kia Niro PHEV
  • I do have a great option for you, however there isn't a trailer hitch available that's designed to fit your 2019 Kia Niro PHEV (plug-in Hybrid). With this in mind your best option for transporting a couple bikes is with a trunk-mount bike rack. For this I highly recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is an extremely nice carrier that features SuperCush anti-sway cradles that will hold the bikes at 3 different points for a stable...

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2022 Kia Niro PHEV
  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Does Trailer Hitch for 2017 Kia Niro Come with Ball Mount for Towing
  • Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount to go with a hitch like the Curt part # C13329 which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Kia Niro. Our hitches do not come with ball mounts for towing as not everyone tows a trailer with their hitch. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball,...

  • Tire Chains With Best Grip For 2018 Kia Niro PHEV With 205/60-16 Tires
  • The tire chains that fit the 205/60-16 tires on your 2018 Kia Niro PHEV are from Konig, and are called Easy Fit chains. There are a number of reasons for this which I'll go over, but first here is the correct part number for the chains that fit your tires: - Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains # TH04115095 First, let's talk about the diamond pattern of the # TH04115095, which is important because it covers more of your tire than any other type of pattern for snow tire chains, helping provide constant...

  • Will Towing With a 2019 Kia Niro Void the Powertrain Warranty
  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Roof Rack for 2019 Kia Niro for Yakima SkyRise HD Tent
  • Yeah you could use the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07437 on your 2019 Kia Niro as long as you install a roof rack on it like the Yakima JetStream rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y00145, and # Y06025 which is a fit for your vehicle and would be a really excellent setup. This is a higher quality rack that has the capacity needed, is easy to install, and is aero shaped so it would be a quieter option as well.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2017 Kia Niro
  • I recommend the # C59496 wiring harness for your 2017 Kia Niro. It's a universal harness because there are no wiring options available for your vehicle. The Curt works with almost all wiring and lighting types and uses a powered converter to protect the vehicle's sensitive wiring. I've included an install video on another vehicle but the process will be very similar for yours. If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Curt # C13329. It's a Class III hitch that...

  • 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.
