2023 Xline and XPRO Crossbars

[Jamchampnate]

Anyone get a hold of the new cross bars for the new model year xline and XPRO raised rails? Official or aftermarket? I’d love to see the actual KIA ones but haven’t heard anything about them.

I had a pair that came with my '22 Sorrento that the dealer let me keep when i traded it in for my X-Pro. They are the Yakima Timberline version 50". I put them on yesterday. My wife took my car today so no pics available. Haven't decided if I like the look. I only need them like twice a year for the cargo carrier so I could take off and put on when needed. But at least the optioned one from the sorrento fit so that saved a bit of money.

So the OEM Kia Sorento cross bars fit? Hopefully you can post a picture soon. I’d love to see!😎

My wife took the car again today. That is what I get for getting the new car. I did see someone post pictures in Reddit in the Telluride sub for the same version, the Yakima Timberline 50". These are the same version i have on mine ride. I think these are the ones that Kia is using for OEM for the raised rail Tellurides. They were the ones i got as OEM for the X-Line Sorento.

Not the best pics but these are the ones KIA gave me for my Sorento, that I added to the Telluride.

Anyone know if the Thule raised rail system will fit?

Well - some good news. I can confirm that the Thule 450R (Rapid Crossroads) will fit, along with the 53" crossbars. Here are some pictures installed on my 2023 X-Pro. The 450R's are older and no longer show up on Thule's "recommendations" spreadsheet, but they're still sold as new in many places, including Thule's website.







With regards to the "Thule Evo Raised Rail" foot pack, I don't think it will work. I've read that the X-Pro and X-Line raised rails are the same as the 2022 X-Line Sorrento, and Thule specifically says the Raised Rail Evo feet will not fit that car.

Also, based on dimensions, I think the Raised Rail Evo foot is just too small for our rail. Our rail measures 1.25" tall. Based on the dimensions published by etrailer, the opening for the rail on the Raised Rail Evo is only 1.125", meaning our rail is too large for that specific Thule foot.





I would recommend getting a set of the Thule 450R's that I can confirm fit.

Nice! I got the Thule aeroblade and they are perfect IMO. Sleek, match the style, don’t over hang, and no wind noise.

They can really cut your MPG’s down.

Just did a trip to Seattle and back and got to a tenth of a mpg the same as I got on my telluride the same time last year that didn’t have crossbars. It’s negligible if you have good crossbars.

Uh huh. Yours are better than everyone else’s OK.

 

[Jamchampnate]

Lol thanks! Much obliged!

Maybe on a Prius but you realize these vehicles are big and boxy? There’s no noticeable difference and with a cargo box, very little on the highway and negligible around town.

This is the best cross bar set up I've seen so far for the XPro/Xline models. I have a blue one as well. Love the color. Any chance you could post some side profile pics? I'd like to get a full view of how it looks from the side. Thanks!

Just to confirm as I got myself a ‘23 SX-P X—Pro and love the look of your crossbars that you ordered the Thule AeroBlade Edge 7504B XL?
