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.

The correct trailer wiring harness you'd want for your 2017 Kia Niro is the Curt kit part # C56376 which comes with connectors that were specifally designed for your vehicle. If you check out the install instructions I attached you'll exactly how all of the connections will need to be made. view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you, but there is not a trailer hitch receiver available at this time for your 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid. If you were wanting to mount accessories on the receiver such as a bike rack or cargo rack, then you could look into a roof rack for these accessories. For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2 along with the necessary Leg Kit # RRSX026 to attach them to your roof. This connects to the... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Kia Niro is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 because this is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver. This is really important because when using it for accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers, a 2 inch receiver is going to have a much wider range of higher-quality options to choose from.
For example, there are currently five times as many cargo carriers that fit a 2 inch hitch than a 1-1/4 inch hitch and... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
For a floor protector that will cover the entirety of the rear cargo on your 2019 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid (which wouldn't be considered the EV) your best option is with the etrailer Cargo Area Protector # e98877. This is more of a universal cover, but it's confirmed to fit your Niro and it's really the only cover available that's designed to cover all the space you're wanting protected with those rear seats folded down. I have attached a sample image of it used in this manner.

Though I may have a few alternate solutions for you, there are currently no hitch options available for your 2018 Kia Niro PHEV. And that goes for the production years from 2017 up to the new 2022 PHEV models, unfortunately.
With that said, we do have roof rack options available and the Rhino Racks is highly recommended for your 2018 Niro. This will include the 49" wide # RRVA126B-2 Vortex Aero Crossbars and the # RRSX026 SRB Legs that will attach directly to the flush rails on your roof.... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13329 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Kia Niro. If you check out the install video I attached you can see how we installed this hitch and that it is possible. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Sounds like you are getting a lot of conflicting info on fitting a 4-bike hitch rack to your 2018 Kia Niro. I can help you accomplish carrying a 4-bike rack with your vehicle but we do not offer a 2 inch hitch for your vehicle. Reason being that 2 inch hitches are only used typically on larger vehicles with heavier capacities.
But since the Curt hitch for your vehicle part # C13329 is a Class II it can allow you to carry a 4 bike rack. Only issue is that none of the Class II 4-bike racks... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Some couplers have an adjustable tension against the hitch ball from the trigger latch system. I recommend looking into that first as it will help keep the ball tighter within the connection. The lightweight trailer actually works against you on this noise because more tongue weight would keep pressure on the hitch ball and minimize that movement from a bump.
If there is movement of the ball mount then an anti-rattle like # 63232 for a 2 inch receiver will help by keeping the ball... view full answer...
For your 2023 Kia Niro UT we only have universal trailer wiring harnesses that are confirmed as a fit like the Curt # C59236 which requires splicing into the taillight circuits. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
