The 2016 Kia Sorento is part of the latest (third) generation of this vehicle. The Curt wiring harness you referenced, custom-fit 4-pole harness # C56256, is a confirmed fit for the 2016 Sorento and it fits either V6 or 4-cylinder versions without the factory tow package wiring. My contact at Curt verified this for me.

If your Sorento does have the factory tow package then instead you will need part # C56332 which is a hardwire installation. The kit includes everything you need. I have linked a video for this item showing installation in a 2015 Sorento.
