Yes, I checked with Thule and the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Carrier # TH78VR that you referenced is confirmed to fit your vehicle.
You will need to place top clips in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk, place lower clips in the bottom edge of trunk and the lower arm of the carrier should be positioned on the upper tier of the bumper.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT 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.
