There is not currently a hidden or concealed hitch for the 2019 Kia Sorento SX. The hitch I recommend for your 2019 Kia Sorento SX is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843. It has a flat black finish on it, so it will help hide dirt and scratches better and blend in better on the bottom of the bumper.

If you are going to be towing you'll need trailer wiring and a ball mount. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C56332 is the wiring I recommend. This is a simple plug-in harness if your Sorento has the factory tow package. The easiest way to tell if you have the tow package is look on the driver's side rear. There is an appearance panel on the bottom, behind that there will be 2 connectors the harness plugs into. If you don't have the factory tow package you can use # 118583.

For a ball mount I suggest etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900. This gives you several options to get your trailer level and have the correct ball to match the coupler.

I linked the products mentioned and a few videos for you to check out as reference.
