I checked with Saris and they do state that the Solo 1 Bike Carrier # SA102 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The only thing they recommend adding is the Protect-O-Pads # SA2060, as it's possible that the bike might contact the vehicle.

This is a really nice, simple trunk-mounted rack that will allow you to transport 1 bike of up to 35 pounds on your vehicle. It features ratcheting straps that will keep the bike stable, along with rubber feet and vinyl hooks that won't scratch the Santa Fe's finish.

If you plan on transporting a children's, woman's, or alternative frame bike, you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and increased ground clearance. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
