I would recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack for your 2013 Kia Rio 5 Door Hatchback. This Thule Bike Rack, # TH88VR, is a confirmed fit that will allow you to carry 2 bikes on the back of your vehicle with or without a factory spoiler. It's Hold Fast cradles hold each bike at 3 points to prevent contact with your Rio and with the other bike. The dual arms adjust independently of the base to keep your bikes level when traveling and allow you to fold them down when not in use.

I would recommend using an adapter bar like # 64005 for bikes without a top frame tube such as alternative frame mountain bikes or step through frames.

To lock your bikes to the rack, I'd suggest a cable lock like # TH538XT. I'd also recommend Thule's Passive Security Trunk Strap, # TH533. This allows you to secure your bike rack to the locked hatch of your Kia Rio for added peace of mind.
