Hello Daniel, thanks for reaching out. The correct hitch for your 2022 Kia Niro plug-in Hybrid is the EcoHitch Class 3 Trailer Hitch # EH72KR. This has a 2" receiver, a 525 lb tongue weight capacity and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. It will be a bolt-on installation, but some trimming of the bumper fascia will be required in order for the hitch to fit.
