Hey Isabel, thanks for reaching out, and congrats on the new car! The roof rack in your picture appears to be an old-style Yakima round bar roof rack. You can transfer the crossbars over to your Niro provided they are the appropriate length (Yakima recommends a 48" bar for the 2027 Kia Niro), but you will need new towers and a new fit kit. Those old towers and old fit kit will not transfer over. Here is what you'll need:

- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR

- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06138

- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06175

- RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 # Y03536

Those 4 parts will be everything you need to mount the round crossbars on your new car.

How long are your round crossbars, and what will you be using the roof rack for?
