2014–2019 Kia Soul roof rack cross bars

Our best-selling kits for the 2014–2019 Kia Soul use the factory fixpoints hidden beneath the small roof covers. The cross bars are vehicle-specific for a precise fit, preserving door seals and paint while delivering a rigid platform. Expect a sleek, black powder-coated finish and an aerodynamic bar profile that minimizes wind noise and drag.

2020–2024 options, including 2021 Kia Soul roof racks

If you own a 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024 Soul, look for kits labeled for your exact year and roof configuration. Many trims continue to use fixed mounting points, and our fixpoint systems are designed to integrate seamlessly. Always confirm compatibility if you have a panoramic glass roof or any dealer-installed accessories that may affect clearance.

Why our Kia Soul cross bars stand out

These roof racks are built from high-quality aluminum to balance strength with a lightweight feel that’s easy to handle during installation and removal. The black finish complements the Soul’s roofline while resisting corrosion from road salt and weather exposure. With an aerodynamic design and low-noise profile, the cross bars cut through the air to reduce whistling on the highway—an essential upgrade for daily commuters and road-trippers alike.

Security and convenience are core to the experience. Integrated anti-theft locks help deter tampering when you’re parked, and the removable design means you can pop the bars off in the off-season in minutes. Many bars include T-track (T-slot) channels along the top, making it simple to mount ski/snowboard carriers, cargo boxes, and certain bike or kayak attachments using T-bolts for a cleaner, more secure setup. Rubberized contact points and vehicle-specific feet distribute loads safely while protecting your paint and weatherstripping.

Load ratings and compatible roof types

Compatible roof type: These kits are intended for Kia Soul models equipped with factory fixpoints (threaded attachment points beneath the roof trim covers). They’re not designed for raised factory rails. If your Soul has a panoramic glass roof, choose a kit specifically approved for that configuration and verify accessory clearance.

Weight capacity: Most vehicle-specific fixpoint systems for compact crossovers like the Soul carry a typical dynamic load rating in the range of approximately 110–165 lb (50–75 kg). The exact safe limit depends on the bar model and the vehicle’s roof rating. Always follow the lower of (a) your Kia owner’s manual rating, and (b) the rating on your specific cross bars and accessories. Static capacity (when parked) can be higher, but dynamic limits apply whenever you’re driving.

What you can carry with confidence

Out-of-the-box versatility is the hallmark of these Kia Soul roof racks. With properly rated carriers and tie-downs, you can transport:

• Cargo boxes and baskets for extra luggage, camping gear, or strollers
• Bike racks (fork-mount, frame-mount, or wheel-mount styles)
• Kayak and canoe carriers with cradles or J-racks
• Ski and snowboard holders using the T-track for a sleek, locked-in fit

The aerodynamic bar shape and wind-resistant end caps manage airflow, reducing buffeting and improving fuel efficiency compared to square or non-profiled bars. The result is a stable platform with less noise, especially when run bare between trips.

Installation and ownership experience

Installation is straightforward: lift the small trim covers at the factory anchor points, position the vehicle-specific feet, set your bar spacing according to the accessory you plan to carry, and tighten evenly. No drilling is required for fixpoint-equipped Soul models, and the process can be completed with basic hand tools. Clear measurement marks on the bars help you center them precisely, and rubber pads protect the paint while improving grip.

For long-term reliability, the bars use rust-resistant aluminum, waterproof hardware, and weatherproof end caps to seal out the elements. After installation, engage the anti-theft locks to secure the system, and re-check torque after your first drive and at regular intervals. When not in use, the lightweight, removable design makes it easy to store the bars off the vehicle to keep your roofline clean and your gas mileage optimal.
