The Draw-Tite Sportframe trailer hitch, part # 24933 will work great on your 2016 CX-3. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

I am not sure which Swagman bike rack you have, but the bike racks we have made by Swagman like the Trailhead, part # S63360 has a measurement of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike carrier. The Titan, part # S63400 has a distance of 11-1/4 inches, and both of these would work great for you.

You can determine if your bike rack will fit by taking a quick measurement. Just measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack. If you have 9 inches or more you will be just fine. If you have less than 9 inches, you may want to wait until the trailer hitch is installed and check to see if your bike carrier will work.

I have attached a helpful article that explains how to determine if a bike rack will clear the bumper.
