Hey Jeremy. As of 06/21/2025 the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # SH92KR does not fit the 2026 Kia EV9. We're not going to know if it does for awhile so I recommend checking back towards the end of the summer. Stealth Hitches will have to get their hands on one and see if anything's been changed for the 2026 model that would affect the hitch fitting.

Have you picked one of these up yet?

Hey Jeremy, did you have a chance to check back with Stealth Hitches about the fit for your 2026 Kia EV9? I'm asking because your experience could help others who are considering the same hitch.

@JerredH I did check in with hidden hitch re fitment and received the following message: We rely on customers to bring us their vehicles for verification of new model year fitments or development of a new hitch for a vehicle as the Vehicle Manufactures/Dealers do not provide any information. We have not yet seen the 2026 Kia EV9 in our development facility to verify fitment. Everything we have read and all the pictures we have looked at makes us believe that our 2024 hitch for the EV9 will fit the 2026 EV9 but we cannot be 100% sure until we confirm it in our facility. We are offering a free hitch and free installation to the first customer to bring their 2026 EV9 to our development facility near Atlanta GA for confirmation of fitment. If you are not able to or interested in bringing your vehicle to our facility, but you would like to try our hitch on your vehicle and it does not fit, you can return it for a full refund. Feel free to spread this offer on Kia forums or with Kia Social Media groups which may expedite us getting a vehicle in for confirmation. Based on shipping time, I decided to have a dealer install the KIA OEM hitch and wiring. I do think it would have been super easy to do myself but again the timing of it. Hopefully some other used can benefit from their offer out there! Thanks for following up. I will be sure to consider you guys for future purchases!
