Gear Up for the Adventure

Whether you drive a Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, or Soul, the right accessories turn your Kia into a true adventure-ready rig. The Werner Kia Parts Center stocks genuine Kia accessories designed specifically for your model, so everything fits properly and works as it should. A quick note before you shop: availability varies by model, trim, and year, so confirm fit with the parts team.

Genuine Kia Accessories for Summer Adventures

1. Roof Rack & Cross Bars

A set of roof cross bars is the foundation of any adventure setup. They create a sturdy mounting point on top of your Kia for carriers and gear, freeing up cabin and cargo space for passengers. Genuine Kia cross bars are designed to fit your specific model’s roof rails — the starting point for hauling bikes, kayaks, or a cargo box.

2. Roof-Mounted Bike & Gear Carriers

Once you’ve got cross bars, available roof-mounted bike carriers, kayak and paddleboard mounts, and ski/gear attachments, you can bring the toys without filling the trunk. These are popular add-ons for models like the Sportage and Sorento; ask the parts team which carriers are available for your Kia and how much they’re rated to hold.

3. Cargo Carriers, Trays & Liners

For everything that rides inside, a molded cargo tray or liner protects the rear floor from wet, sandy, and muddy gear, while a cargo net or organizer keeps coolers and bags from sliding around. A roof cargo box or basket adds even more weatherproof storage for longer trips when the back is already full.

4. All-Weather Floor Mats & Mud Guards

Summer adventures are messy. Genuine Kia all-weather floor mats are molded to fit your model and trap water, sand, and mud so your carpet stays protected and wipes clean. Mud guards (splash guards) help shield the lower body and paint from rocks and grime on dirt roads and trailheads.

5. Tow Hitch & Hitch-Mounted Accessories

If your Kia is equipped or eligible for a tow hitch, it opens up hitch-mounted bike racks and cargo carriers and, on capable models, the ability to tow a small trailer or watercraft. Ask about tow-hitch availability and towing ratings for your specific vehicle before you load up.
