The answer to your question will depend on how far under the rear of the vehicle the hitch is recessed. You can determine this by measuring the distance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 can be used on your vehicle as long as this distance isn't greater than 7-1/2 inches.

When we installed all three of the available hitches on a RX450, we found that the receiver was recessed under the vehicle by 5 inches. This would place the closest portion of the rack 2.5 of an inch away from the face of the bumper. The closest part of the rack would be the tops of the plastic wheel hoops. The Sherpa 2.0 would be an excellent choice that would work great for you.
