The Kia Soul catches the eye with its body shape and interior space, but a roof rack comes in handy for a longer trip with family or sports equipment. Choose your vehicle generation and select the appropriate crossbars according to your roof setup.
Each generation of the Soul approaches cargo attachment differently. The first generation AM (2009 to 2014) uses raised roof rails that arch above the roof with free space underneath them. The second generation PS (2014 to 2019) brought a change, featuring flush roof rails without a gap or fixed mounting points directly on the roof. The third generation SK3 (from 2019) relies on flush roof rails.
When selecting a set, check the production year stated in the registration certificate. The date of first registration may differ from the manufacturing year, while the production time itself is decisive. Transition years 2014 and 2019 mean generational changes, so if in doubt, verify the model code in the technical data. A vehicle manufactured in 2014 may belong to the first generation AM or the newer generation PS.
The taller body construction provides good visibility, but affects cargo handling. Bikes or skis can be secured comfortably, but the roof adds to the overall height of the car. A roof box will provide space for bulky bags, but it is wise to know the total clearance height before entering garages and underground parking lots. Check the product detail before ordering to see what exactly is included in each set.
If you are looking for roof racks for another model of this brand, check out Sportage, Ceed, Niro, Venga or the main category Kia.
