Hey Daniel, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, there is no online version of the instruction for the EcoHitch # EH72KR for the 2022 Kia Niro PHEV. The instructions only exist as the paper instructions that come with the hitch.

I can tell you it will be a no drill install. You will need to lower the exhaust during installation, and you will have to cut a small section of the bumper plastic. Generally it would take an experienced installer about an hour to complete. It helps a lot if you have a lift for the car, and an extra pair of hands to raise the hitch into position.

Did you have any specific questions about installation? Reply below and let me know if there is anything else I can do.
