I checked with Thule and basically the only trunk mounted bike rack they don't fit for your 2015 Toyota RAV4 is the platform OutWay that you referenced. The hanging style OutWay part # TH45JV does fit and would work well. I prefer recommending this style as it doesn't weigh as much as the platform rack and doesn't have the same reputation for denting vehicles like the early versions of the platform style rack.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
