For both your 2010 Acura RDX and your 2017 Hyundai Tucson, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. I spoke with my contact at Hollywood Racks and he confirmed that this 3-bike rack will fit both of your vehicles.
This is a really nice trunk-mounted rack that features a high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options that will work perfectly with the rear spoilers on your vehicles. It can handle 3 bikes of up to 35 pounds each and its foam pads will also help protect the car's finish. I recommend adding a cable lock # e98891 and Passive Security Strap # TH533 to secure everything into place and help deter theft.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can also check out.
If you plan on transporting any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes, you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached a video demonstration on this adapter so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
