According to Thule, the Gateway, # TH78VR will fit your Volvo. This is a great rack but it doesn't come with the rack lock to the hatch even though it does have the cable lock for the bikes to secure to the rack.

I recommend the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV. What makes this bike rack a cut above the rest are the retractable cables it uses to mount to the vehicle instead of straps. The cables make installation and removal quick and easy. The bike rack can also be locked so the cables cannot be retracted or pulled out on either side. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video review of this bike rack for you.

If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level for increased ground clearance. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works.
