Pictured: Thule bike carrier that fits Kia Soul perfectly!
As a part of our weekly-updated Kia owner interview series, we have recently published an interview with Phil, the owner of a brand-new Kia Soul crossover vehicle.
Apart from telling us lots of positive stuff about his new ride, Phil has also sent us some cool looking photos that showcase his funky Soul crossover from different angles.
A picture that really caught our attention was the one that showed the gray-painted Kia Soul from the back-end.
The picture reveals a 2-bike hitch carrier attached to the Kia Soul’s trailer hitch.
Phil has told us the bike rack is one of many aftermarket accessories that he has bought for his car, so far.
Obviously being a big cyclist fan, Phil has chosen a tailgate-mounted Thule 9042 Helium Aero 2-Bike Carrier to carry bikes on his new Kia Soul.
