Question:

I have a 2023 Kia Sportage. It has the side rails running along the roof. I would like to add a set of crossbars to mount my bike rack. Is there a set that will work for my Kia and give me enough capacity?

Expert Reply:

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory flush side rails of your 2023 Kia Sportage. This mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for a bike rack. You will want the roof rack by Thule and it includes the following parts:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # TH711320

Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # TH710601

Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet - 6112 item # TH28JQ

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a couple of pictures, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Kia.
