We can help you with a hitch for your 2008 Kia Sorento and a compatible bike rack.
For your hitch I recommend the USA-made Curt 2-inch hitch # C13513. This hitch comes with all the hardware needed to bolt it on the car's frame. The written instructions, a helpful article and an installation video are linked to help you.
In this 2-inch Class III hitch you can use a 2-inch bike rack. I linked our main page for all 2-inch hitch racks. These include hanging style racks like the great-value Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-Bike carrier # TH934XTR and platform style racks like the 3-bike Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR. We even have swing-away racks like the Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 which holds 4 bikes and swings out of the way even when loaded up to give you full access to the rear of your Sorento.
To help you make the best rack selection I also linked an article on hitch bike racks that will help you decide which type and capacity best suits your bike designs. I will be happy to offer a recommendation for a rack if you will tell me how many bikes you need to transport and what types of bikes they are, such as fat bikes, beach cruisers, kid's bikes, etc.
