Will a Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier Work on My 2016 Honda Accord

Question:

I was looking at your bike racks and I wanted to confirm what I would need for my needs. I have a 2016 Honda Accord Coupe and I wanted to attach a 3 bike rack. We have 2 mount bikes. One is a mens mountain bike, the other a women mountain bike. We also have a BMX bike for our son. I was looking at the 2016 Honda Accord Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount Code: TH911XT, along with getting a Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Womens and Alternative Frame Bikes Code: TH982XT. Will those be compatible for my car and our bikes? and will I need something else to hook up the BMX bike? Thank you for your help.

Yes the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT would be great for your 2016 Honda Accord Coupe. I've attached some photos of a 2015 Accord Sedan with the Thule Passage 3 installed for you to see how it looks as well as a video review. The installation will be the same on you're Coupe. In addition, the Thule Adapter Bar # TH982XT is exactly what you need to carry a woman's bike and keep it level while traveling. I have attached a video review of this as well.

It is possible that you will need an Adapter Bar for the BMX bike as well depending on the size. The arms of the Thule Passage 3 are 14" apart, if the frame of the BMX is too small for the arms to fit then it will be necessary.
