I spoke with my contact at Curt and the Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13120, for the 2014 Kia Sportage has been tested and it is also a fit for the 2015 model. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds and a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

Please keep in mind that Curt does require all non-trailer loads like bike racks and cargo carriers to be supported with a Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from CURT.

As for the wiring for your 2015 Kia Sportage the Curt T-connector # C56251 will give you a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle.

If you are planning to tow with your Sportage, I would like to suggest the Curt Ball Mount, # D-4, Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98880, 2 inch Hitch Ball, # 63845, or the 1-7/8 inch Hitch Ball, # 19260, to complete your set-up.

I have attached a video and an article for you to check out.
