In order to have a bike carrier on your 2014 Crosscabriolet, you will need to use a trailer hitch mounted carrier. There are no trunk-mount racks confirmed to fit due to the way the back of the vehicle is made.

I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13577. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. When installing the hitch the tie-down hook will need to be removed.

The carrier I recommend is the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack, part # TH9058. This bike rack features dual arching arms and has a weight capacity of 75 lbs.

When carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
