Expert Reply:

The best hitch for your 2023 Kia Sportage is going to be the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT22MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch is perfect for a bike rack or hitch mounted accessory and towing a trailer. The hitch pin hole sits right at 4" from the edge of the bumper so you will have plenty of clearance for most bike racks.

I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed and used with a bike rack.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C99DR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
