For your Seltos I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65GR. This 2" receiver is custom fit for all trims levels of your Seltos and will attach your frame using existing holes that are already in your frame. There will be some minor trimming of an underbody panel to complete the installation. I have linked a copy of those instructions below for you to reference as we currently do not have an installation video for your Seltos.

I recommend installing the Curt Wiring Harness # C89KR when you install the receiver. This is needed when you pull small trailers that have a 4-way flat connector for working the tail lights. And it can also allow you to use a set of Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if your bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory blocks your tail lights.
