For your 2013 Kia Soul with a naked roof I recommend checking out the:

-Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2, with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK237.

These bars measure 49" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall, and have a maximum weight capacity of 165-lbs.

Since you're interested in a carrying cargo on your roof, I recommend checking out the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906.

This cargo box will mount to the cross bars and provide you with 22 cubic feet of carrying space, a maximum weight carrying limit of 165-lbs, and measures 91-1/2" long x 37-1/2" wide x 18" tall.

Attached are a couple of videos for you to check out as well.
