From what I could see in the owner's manual it looked like Kia says you cannot flat tow your 2018 Kia Rio but it did look like you could dolly tow it. I would confirm this in your owner's manual and/or with your nearest Kia dealer.

The Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1, has a weight capacity of 4,250 lbs and comes with electric brakes. The wires for the lighting and brakes and loose so you would need part # HM48133 to activate just the lights or part # PK11604 for a 6-Way or # PK12706 for a 7-Way to activate the brakes as well.

Although it isn't necessary (as the dolly comes with lights), it is good practice to installed magnetic towing lights, like part # TL21RK, on your Kia Rio when it is being dolly towed to ensure that everyone around you can clearly see what you are doing.

Review videos for the dollies and magnetic lights have been linked for you to reference.
