Curt Class III trailer hitch # 13526 is indeed a fit for your 2010 Kia Sportage V6. Class III hitches like this are great for towing and for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring I recommend # 118401 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have included some links showing installations of the hitch and wiring for you.
