I would be happy to help you find a set of crossbars that will fit the factory raised rails of your 2023 Kia Sorento. This kit mounts directly to the side rails. You will want the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts:

Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long - Qty 2 item # Y01156

TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y33TR

HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima TimberLine Towers - Qty 4 item # Y03541

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The rubberized strips in the top channels reduce wind noise and drag.

I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) item # Y07204 to secure your roof rack from theft.

I have linked a couple of pictures that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Sorento.
