Yes the Thule Apex 4-bike rack part # TH9025XT would work great for what you are looking for. Installed in a Class I hitch that fits your 2020 Honda Accord like the Curt part # C11525 you'd be able to carry up to 2 bikes but then in a future vehicle with a higher hitch Class you'd be able to take advantage of the 4 bike capacity. Class 1 hitches can only handle 2 bikes.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes, you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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.
