Sounds like you are looking for a trailer hitch and bike rack for your 2012 Kia Sportage. For a trailer hitch you'll want the Draw Tite part # 75717 which is a confirmed fit (install video attached below).
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.
This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
