Expert Reply:

Although we do offer a hitch fit for your vehicle, the # 24796 hitch is a fit for a 2007-2021 Nissan Altima or 2009-2021 Nissan Maxima so it won't work for your Kia Optima.

For a 2016 Optima, I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11402. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118453, a ball mount like # C45521, a # PC2 hitch pin and # A-80 for a 1-7/8 or # A-82 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
