Expert Reply:
The best hitch for your 2024 Kia Sportage is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e38KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.
Both the Curt item # C94WR and the etrailer item # e38KR are confirmed to fit the 2024 Kia Sportage. These hitches are identical with the exception that the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coat finish that offers superior rust protection. They both have the same installation method and towing capacity but this one will look better when installed and save you some money.
I really like the etrailer hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper and the crossbar is completely hidden. 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.
I have attached a couple of pictures below so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
