Thanks for reaching out, George!

Both the Curt # C34ER and the etrailer # e28AR trailer hitches will fit your 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid but out of both options I recommend using the etrailer version because it has a matte black finish that not only looks better, but it also does a better job at hiding any scratches or dings that are bound to happen from road debris.

Attached is an installation video of the etrailer hitch installed on a 2023 Sorento as well as a photo of the finish product for your reference.
