Sounds like you are looking for a trunk mounted bike rack recommendation for your 2016 Kia Sportage. For that I recommend the Yakima Fullback trunk rack part # Y02634 as this is the nicest and easiest to use option for your vehicle. This rack has a very wide contact pad where it touches the vehicle so the weight of the rack and bikes is spread out evenly, is only option with locks for the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle, and has frame cradle straps that are very easy to use.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
