Question:
Does this hitch fit a 2026 Kia Sportage hybrid?

Yes, it does Sarah. The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch item # EH82KR has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2026 Kia Sportage including the hybrid. This is a custom fit class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It includes all parts necessary to complete the installation.
I really like the EcoHitch item # EH82KR because of the removable receiver. The main crosstube installs behind the rear bumper cover so when you're not towing a trailer or hauling an accessory you can take off the 2" receiver. You won't even be able to tell you have an aftermarket hitch installed when you do this.
What do you plan on using your hitch for?

Thanks for your help! I plan on using it with my bike rack but not regularly so the receiver being removable really helps.
