Between the Thule Passage part # TH910XT and the Thule Gateway Pro part # TH88VR I would strongly recommend the # TH88VR for your 2011 Hyundai Sonata. This rack has adjustable arms which will allow them to be adjusted level so that your bikes can be carried much easier on the rack. Aside from that both racks are very similar.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 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.
