Hey Luis, yes the Curt hitch part # C77NR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2024 Kia Niro Hybrid EX Touring. There is a little bit of lower fascia trimming required to install on your vehicle but that's pretty standard now on newer vehicles. We don't have any that fit your vehicle that don't require trimming. Are you planning on towing a trailer with the hitch?

I just wanted to add to the response to Luis' question. I have a 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid EX and I installed this hitch on my car. It was easy and there was no cutting from what I recall. It was a couple years ago. I only use for a bike carrier. Mike

Luis, I have a 2023 Kia Niro Ex - non-plugin hybrid, Love the car. I had the hitch installed at UHaul. Don't remember any cutting being involved. If I remember a piece of ducting or something needed to be removed by Uhaul. I've had the hitch and car two years without any problems. I typically carry two bikes a hybrid and an electric bike. Never had a problem, Kurt

I put this hitch on my '23 plug-in Niro. Putting the car up on ramps really helped with the process. I didn't have to trim any plastic or remove that black box that looks like it'll get in the way. I did disconnect the rubber muffler mounts so the muffler dropped down. My biggest problem was that the arms of the hitch that bolted to the frame weren't exactly parallel to the frame. Playing with washers allowed it to eventually work out. The whole process took about twice as long as we had hoped. Sturdy and works fine now. Good Luck!

@WillP glad you got it installed! Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes if bolt holes don't line up perfectly it helps to just thread the bolt on a coupler rotations for all of the hardware and then torque down evenly from there.

This trailer hitch fit my '25 Niro EX hybrid (not touring, not plug-in hybrid) without modification. Works great. The Niro tows a trailer very well. No cutting needed. I did remove the muffler and lowered the charcoal canister (still connected). The brief time clearing space made the hitch installation easier. The slowest task was separating the KIA electrical plugs to install the etrailer wiring harness. They are located up in small holes with sharp edges. But they eventually came apart and installing the harness went faster. The Niro electrical is odd, with the 12V battery under the passenger seat, but the wiring harness connected in the engine bay once I figured it out.
