I do have an option for you but all hitch mounted bike racks and most trunk mounted bike racks have the chance of interfering with your backup camera and sensors. Therefore, if you want to retain full function of these features you will have no other option but to place the bike/bikes on the roof with a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack.

For a roof rack, I recommended the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack which is composed of part # TH7602B-TH7602B and part # THKIT4058. This system uses fixes mounting points so you don't have the clips in your door jambs and the crossbars don't extend past the mounting feet which makes for a very clean look.

In order to mount your bikes on the above roof rack, I recommend using the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack part # TH599000 because you don't have to take parts off the bike to install it on the rack. This can also be locked to the roof rack and the roof rack to the vehicle using the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450600.
