Yes, the etrailer hitch # e72TR does fit the SX Turbo models of the 2018 Kia Sportage. I I linked a video that shows when we installed it recently so you can see the process.

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 a wiring harness I recommend # 118698 which plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring and draws power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery for added circuit protection. I have linked videos of the hitch and the wiring harness for you.
