Expert Reply:
The roof rack I recommend for a 2019 Kia Sorento LX is the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06159, and part # Y06170. The Jetstream Crossbar System is an excellent option which offers a direct bolt-on fit, custom molded to the shape of your roof. The aero shaped crossbars are very quiet and they offer the least amount of drag. The overhang on the crossbars will be perfect for carrying kayaks because you get the extra space needed for water-sport accessories.
In order to secure the kayaks, you'll need to do so on their side so you have room therefore you will need a j-style carrier, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 (2 Sets) is what I recommend as it comes with all that you need.
