I would be happy to make a recommendation for a roof rack that will fit the flush side rails of your 2016 Kia Sportage. This roof rack mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for a bike rack, cargo box, or any other accessory. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX023

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. Go ahead and email me back if you have any other questions.
