The simplest and most reliable way to determine if your 2017 Kia Sorento came with the tow package would be to contact a Kia dealer and give them your VIN and they'll be able to tell. Or if you still have the original window sticker it would be listed there too.
The Curt kit part # C56332 fits if you have the tow package and the # 118583 is correct for if you do not have the tow package. Also worth noting is that the part # 118583 will fit either variation of the vehicle due to how it installs. So, if you are in a time crunch and just want something now that you know will work this is the kit to go with. It's install isn't too bad at all as it installs inline with taillight connectors.
I attached install videos for both kits for you to check out as well.
