Can Thule AeroBlade Edge Cross Bars Be Used On a 2023 Kia Niro Or What Option Is There

Question:

Ive seen on answer suggesting they will another saying no. Hoping you can help. I have two AeroBlade Edge cross bars medium from my old car that I want to use on a 2023 Kia Niro PHEV/Plug In. The 184076 fit kits Thule says to use are, I guess, no longer sold. I see these as a replacement but would they work with AeroBlade?

I contacted the manufacturer and there is not an option that will allow you to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbars on your 2023 Kia Niro.

The Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH57JV you asked about, which works with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601 does work with the AeroBlade crossbars but they do not work with your 2023 Kia Niro.

We do not currently have an option from Thule for your 2023 Kia Niro, but we do have an option from Yakima.
