Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Hyundai Sonata to Carry 2 Bikes
Question:
Hi do you folks recommend any trunk mounted 2 bike rack systems for a 2016Hyundai Sonata? Thanks in advance.

We do carry a couple of trunk mount bike racks that fit your 2016 Hyundai Sonata. The Saris Guardain 2 # SAR93FR fits as long as you add Hatch Huggers # SA3035.
Rather than a trunk mount bike rack, I recommend a trailer hitch and a hitch mount bike rack.
If you do not already have a trailer hitch on your Sonata, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24965. This Class I hitch will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver that will work great with Class I compatible bike racks. I have attached an installation video of this hitch on a 2014 Sonata for you.
The bike rack I recommend for you is the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670. This is a platform style bike rack that will secure your bikes at the wheels and upper frame bar. The upper frame bar hook ratchets down to hold your bike secure so they do not move within the carrier. A threaded bolt pin and clip is included with the rack to help prevent rattle and secure the bike rack at the hitch. The rack also features a shank rise of 3 inches to help improve ground clearance for the rack and your bikes. I have attached a review video of this carrier on a 2013 Sonata for you.
If either of the bikes you plan on carrying has an alternative frame, a bike adapter bar, like # 64005, may be needed to provide the best possible location to secure the frame hook. I have attached a review video of this adapter for you.
