I checked with Thule and there are some trunk mount bike rack fits for your 2014 Hyundai Tucson. I recommend the OutWay 2, # TH45JV. It is the 2-bike version of the OutWay 3, # TH56BV that you referenced. (The Raceway 3 is also a fit.)

What makes the OutWay bike racks so great is the 2 rubber coated straps it uses instead of 6 straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy. I own the 3-bike version and it is by far the best trunk mount rack I have used.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
