Yes, the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # RB1250B-2 (black) and # RB1250 (silver) are compatible with the bare roof on your 2014 Kia Sorrento LX without a vista roof. For a complete roof rack system, you will need the following parts:

- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRLKHD
- Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK179

For a J-style carrier that will work with your HD bars for securing 2 kayaks, I recommend the following parts:

- Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # S512-S512X
- Crossbar Adapters for Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carriers S510, S511, and S512 # KC-FK8

The great thing about the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier is that it comes with 4 tie-down straps as well as 4 bow/stern tie downs to secure to your 2014 Kia Sorrento. To use the kayak carrier with the Rhino-Rack HD bars, you will need the beforementioned crossbar adapters. With all of these components, you will be able to transport 2 kayaks on your vehicle.
