For use in the 2-inch hitch on your 2015 Kia Sorento the best bike rack option between the Swagman XTC4 # S64665 and the Swagman 2+2 # S64FR may depend on the nature of your bikes. Both carriers offer 4-bike capacity and a mix of useful features, but there are certain differences that might make one better than the other for you and the particular bikes you will transport.
For example, the 2+2 has a 45-lb weight capacity per bike compared to the XTC4's 35-lb limit. The XTC4 can fit bikes with longer wheelbases; the XTC4's wheelbase range extends from 27-1/2-inches up to 61-inches, while the 2+2 works with wheelbases from 15-inches to 51-inches. The XTC4 will work better with smaller wheels - it can fit wheels from 15-inches diameter and up, while the 2+2 is a better fit for wheels of 20-inches or greater diameter. The 2+2 will provide more clearance from the hitch pin hole when the rack is folded up for storage, 9-inches versus 3-1/2-inches for the XTC4. The linked article explains how to determine the clearance you need at the back of your vehicle.
Both racks are covered by the Swagman limited lifetime warranty, both include locks and both can be seen in use on the same vehicle using the video links provided.
