The only hitch available for the Kia Rondo is the Curt Class I hitch, item # C11031. Class I hitches are limited to 2 bikes because of the torque applied to the hitch and vehicle frame by the weight of the bikes and bike rack and the distance they stick out behind the vehicle.
I recommend a 2 bike rack like the the Thule Camber Bike Rack, item # TH9058, or the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, item # S64650, for your 2008 Kia Rondo.
If you need to carry more than 2 bikes you could also... view full answer...
The Fulton # FSTC1000301 can indeed be used on a 2x2 trailer frame. The tire mount is compatible with wheels that have 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt patterns on 10 inch or larger diameter wheels. I'll link you to an FAQ article that shows how to determine your wheel bolt pattern. view full answer...

The Kia Carens is not available in the United States so I checked the South Korean/Indonesian Thule fit guides to determine fit. The Carens is the same thing as the Kia Rondo we have here. For the Rondo you would use AeroBlade Edge rack # TH7602-TH7602 with fit kit # THKIT4036.
The Carens should be using Thule WingBar Edge 9592 and fit kit 4036 which would need to be purchased from a South Korean or Indonisian Thule dealer since we cannot get those parts.

To use a plastic cargo box such as the Thule Force Medium # TH6356B that you referenced you will first need to install a roof rack on your 2007 Kia Rondo and the one I recommend is the Inno square bar system made of parts # INB107, # INTR and # INTR103. This rack is made for your flush rails. You can refer to the linked video for details on its design.
I recommend using an accessory folding step like # TE97FR from Telesteps which gives you easier access to your cargo items. The lightweight... view full answer...

For carrying bikes that do not have horizontal top tubes we recommend you get a Thule Adapter Bar # TH982XT. This would help you carry your 2010 Norco road bike in a more stable, level fashion. Check out the review video and installation instructions that I attached... view full answer...
According to my contact at Curt Manufacturing, the U-bolt mounts of the # C18115 cargo basket will accommodate crossbars up to 3 inches wide and 2-1/4 inches tall. If you have cross bars on your 2008 Kia Rondo and they match that criteria then yes it will work for you.
If you do not have cross bars on your vehicle you will want to check out the link I attached to see the available roof rack options, you will want to select your roof style from the menu and then you will see the appropriate... view full answer...
We have many confirmed fits for trunk-mount 3-bike racks for your 2010 Kia Rondo and also for your 2015 Kia Forte sedan. I linked the two pages that show the racks that fit each car. The good news is that there are racks that are confirmed to fit on both.
Among the top rack choices that will fit both cars is the Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR. This USA-made rack includes the integrated bike cable lock and offers a 35-lbs-per-bike weight rating. It is backed by Thule's limited lifetime warranty.

There has been some issues with the green wire being too short to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56222 on the Kia Soul without splicing in extra wire. I do not believe you will have that issue with the Rondo because we have not had any complaints at all about the Rondo and the Curt harness.
However, I recommend to go with the Tekonsha brand harness part # 118431 for the 2009 Kia Rondo because the Tekonsha brand is more reliable and tends to last a bit longer.... view full answer...
