Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 56251 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2016 Kia Sportage, $148.04 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper.

2016 Kia Sportage hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2016 Kia Sportage?
CURT 13120 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight.
How much can a 2016 Kia Sportage tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight, or 5,250 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Sportage has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2016 Kia Sportage?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56251 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Sportage's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
