Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback
Question:
Hello! I have a 2020 Mazda 3 hatchbackand a couple of bikes. Can you please recommend the right hitch and then a rack that you think will work well on the vehicle? Bikes aren't heavy just standard Thank you.

Absolutely!
Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback, the Curt Hitch # C98BR will work perfectly. This will line right up to existing holes in the frame rails for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation and features a 200 pound tongue weight capacity.
I have attached the written installation manual below that you can look through as well. All the necessary hardware is included.
Then for a Class I rated bike rack I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR. This is an excellent carrier that uses soft ratcheting hooks that hold the bikes by their front wheel (without any frame contact) and features a convenient foot pedal that lets you tilt the rack back, with the bikes still loaded, for easy rear cargo access (see attached image). This is especially beneficial on hatchback vehicles like your Mazda 3.
I have attached a couple video demonstrations that you can check out as well.

Since the 2020 Mazda CX-30 is based on the 2020 Mazda 3, will this hitch also fit the 2020 Mazda CX-30?
