The only trunk mounted bike rack that we have that is compatible with your 2015 Range Rover Sport is the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack - Handlebar Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BH1302. To carry two bikes, you would need to use 2 of these carriers.

My recommendation is to use a roof rack and bike rack. For this, I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack comprised of:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA150B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK408

For a roof mounted bike rack, I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount # Y02103. This will secure your bike by the front wheel and lock your back wheel in place for security. It also includes a bike lock to deter theft.

You may also be interested in the HitchMate TireStep Adjustable Step for SUVs, RVs and Light Trucks - 22" x 10" - 400 lbs # HE4040 to make loading and securing your bikes easier.

The biggest issue is we don't have a confirmed fit for a trailer hitch receiver for your 2015 Range Rover Sport. However, if you were able to find something or have one made by a local welding shop, I recommend the Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9024XT or the similiar and lighter Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH9042PRO. Each of these racks has a really nice structure and design to make them easy to use. They come with a lock for the bikes to secure them to the rack and the locking hitch as well. Both carriers will hold bikes securely and have a tilting function that is easy to use to gain access to your cargo area. They are light weight and easy to store when not in use. With a hanging rack, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 to hold the bike(s) level and give you ground clearance.
