Trailer Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack with 2020 Hyundai Elantra

Question:

I'm looking for a trailer hitch so I can use a bike rack with my 2020 Elantra. Do you have anything that fits my vehicle?

If your 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a GT Hatchback, the DrawTite Hitch # 24905 will fit as long as it is not one of the models that was mad IN Korea.

If your 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a GT Hatchback, but is not an N line model and does not have dual exhaust, the Curt # C11509 will work.

If you have a sedan, we do not currently (3/2023) have a hitch for your 2020 Hyundai Elantra Sedan.

We do have trunk bike racks or roof racks available if you are interested in carrying bikes in that manner. Let me know your model and trim and I can get you all set.

Thank you for replying. Those are not good options. Trunk racks warp and scratch body panels over time and are not very flexible for different styles of bikes. Roof racks involve lifting a bike over your head, hoping to not scratch/dent your car when you are tired, debris and stuff will fall from your bike onto the top of the car, adding drag and costing mpg all the time, not to mention what happens when you put a bike up there and of course the ever present hazard of running your bike into your garage, which is a human-factors issue, because you cant see the bike unlike with a rear view mirror. Its far better just to take the wheel off and put it in the back, buying either one of those other products is a waste of money in various ways roof rack is like throwing money out the window every time you drive.

A hitch-mounted rack is definitely my first recommendation when possible, but sometimes it's just not always possible. I wish I had a better solution for you but there's not another option for transporting your bikes (other than loading them into the Elantra.

What about a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N-line? I do not see this option and there is no sport model in 2020 that I am aware of. Im looking for a receiver for the same purpose, to use with my bike rack.

Unfortunately there isn't a hitch available that's designed to fit your Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line. The Sport model was actually renamed the N-Line starting in 2019 (we will get our site updated to avoid more confusion....sorry!). The only solutions to transport your bikes at the moment are with a trunk-mounted rack or a roof rack setup. If want to go with one of these routes just let me know and I will be happy to make some recommendations.
