I checked with our bike rack manufacturers, and there is a 3-bike trunk-mounted bike racks that fits your 2016 Mazda CX-9, though the Thule Passage # TH911XT is not a fit. Instead, you will need a rack from Yakima:

- Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633

Apart from fit, there are a number of reasons to go with the FullBack, starting with its strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points. This is important because it ensures your bikes don't make any contact with each other or your Mazda.

Another important factor which makes the FullBack the top option is its integrated security measures which keeps your bikes and the rack safely in your possession. It comes with a cable lock which secures your bikes to the rack, as well as a steel-reinforced strap that stores inside your hatch to help keep the FullBack safely anchored to your CX-9, helping protect your investment.

Also keep in mind if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.
