I would love to help but as of January 2019, there is not a hitch available for your 2018 Kia Rio nor is there one from another vehicle that you can use. The 2018 model year is a redesign and they are still in the development stages. Unfortunately, I don't have any insider information when one will be available either.
However, if you were wanting a trailer hitch so you can carry a bike rack then we do still have options. If your bike(s) is not heavier than 35 lbs then you can use a trunk mount bike rack (sedan only) like the Yakima FullBack Bike Rack part # Y02634 or part # Y02633.
If your bike(s) is over 35 lbs then the only option we have for you is a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack like the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06117 with the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack part # Y02114.
I have attached review videos for you as well.
