We have several trunk mount bike rack options available for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring. I have attached a link to all of the bike racks that are confirmed to fit your vehicle for you to check out.

The bike rack that I recommend for you is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV. This bike rack is one of the top trunk mount bike racks on the market and it uses only 2 ratcheting cables rather than the 4-6 nylon straps to attach to the rear hatch. The cables will not stretch and will not have excess length flying in the wind like straps.

If you plan on carrying any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend looking into a bike adapter bar like part # TH982XT. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack and cause ground clearance issues. This adapter will allow you to mount your bikes easily and safely.

I have attached video demonstrations of the Raceway bike rack and the adapter bar for you to check out.
