I have a possible solution for you, but there is not a trailer hitch receiver available at this time for your 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid. If you were wanting to mount accessories on the receiver such as a bike rack or cargo rack, then you could look into a roof rack for these accessories. For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2 along with the necessary Leg Kit # RRSX026 to attach them to your roof. This connects to the factory raised rails on your vehicle's roof and there are built-in locks to keep the crossbars safe and secure on your roof.

The weight capacity of this system is 165lbs but you will want to check your owner's manual to verify the roof capacity. These crossbars feature a T-slot top channel which allows many accessories to be easily installed or removed. You can install a bike rack like Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack - Frame Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount # TH598004 or a cargo basket such as Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 47" Long x 35" Wide - 165 lbs # RMCB. I have attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
