For your 2014 Kia Cadenza, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II - 1-1/4", # C12118 is a confirmed fit. The hitch will come with all the installation hardware you need as well as installation instructions. For any non-trailer load like a cargo carrier or a bike rack, you will also need the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050.
If you plan to do any towing with this vehicle, I recommend using the Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-1/8" Rise - 9-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs, # C45520. You will need the pin and clip # PC3, along with a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball like # C40001 or a 2 inch ball like # C40018.
For wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56199. This will plug directly into your factory wiring without splicing and will allow you to run power directly from your battery to reduce strain on your wiring system and protect it from overload.
