Hey Mark, congrats on the new SUV. The EcoHitch item # EH82KR is only designed to fit the hybrid models of the 2026 Kia Sportage but there are other hitches that will work. None of them have the removable receiver feature though.

For your 2026 Kia Sportage, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT22MR. This class III hitch with a 2" receiver is custom fit for the 2026 Kia Sportage. All installation hardware necessary for installation is included.

What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
