Adding a hitch to any vehicle is a great addition and gives you plenty of options for anything you may be transporting. Although there is not an option for a hidden hitch for your vehicle at this time, I do suggest the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C11527. Whether you are looking to add accessories, or tow a small trailer, this 1-1/4" hitch is more than capable. It provides a tongue weight rating of 200 pounds along with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds. When towing, you will want to check in the owner's manual for the vehicles maximum rated tow capacity.

I have added below a review and installation of the hitch. With the installation, you can see how the hitch sits below the bumper. With that being said, it does not look as if there will be enough bumper space for a hitch to be hidden under a portion of the bumper.
