The Curt hitch # C13073 does fit the Kia Sorento for model years 2011 through 2013, but for your 2017 Sorento the correct Curt hitch to use is part # C13195. Your 2017 model year is part of the 3rd generation of this vehicle and that means that changes to the car's frame required Curt to design a new hitch for the later model years.
The great news is this correct hitch # C13195 actually has much higher weight capacities, 750-lbs tongue weight and 5000-lbs towing capacity, as compared to the 350/3500-lbs ratings for part # C13073. A hitch installation video is linked for you.
Please note that if you will be using the hitch for a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR or a cargo carrier like # C18151, you will need to add Curt stabilizing strap # 18050 to help support that load.
If instead towing is in your plans you will need a trailer wiring harness if the trailer has lights; if your Sorento does NOT have the factory tow package use wiring kit # 118583; if you do have the tow package, then instead use kit # C56332. You'll also need a ball mount, hitch ball and a pin and clip; you might care to consider our kit # 989900 which includes all of these items.
