The best hitch for your 2019 Subaru Impreza 5 Door Wagon is the EcoHitch # 306-X7350 . This is a concealed cross-tube design hitch that mounts behind your bumper for a nice clean look once it's installed. Because it's out of the way, you're going to have less ground clearance issues than you would with a hitch that's mounted to the bottom of the frame the way the other compatible hitches are. The EcoHitch comes with a 2" hitch receiver to provide better options for hitch mounted accessories than hitches with a 1-1/4" receiver.

This hitch receiver will work perfectly with the 2" shank on your Yakima HoldUp Platform Rack # Y02443-2 and you'll have no clearance issues folding up the rack when it's not in use.
