The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit and will work well on your 2017 Kia Sorento. You will just want to be sure to use the included Glass Hatch Hook accessory in place of the upper strap hooks when installing the rack on your Sorento.

This is a really nice carrier that can handle 2 bikes at 35 pounds each. The StableCradle anti-sway cradles will hold the bike frame at 3 different points, while the adjustble arms will help to keep the bikes level. I do recommend adding the Cable Lock # Y07233 and Lock Core # Y07202 to secure the bikes and help deter theft.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this bike rack that you can also check out.

If you plan on carrying any children's, woman's, or alternative frame bikes, you may also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal mounting point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
