The Yakima HangOut 3 is indeed compatible with your 2013 VW Tiguan. The bottom-most straps would attach to the hatch using the included glass hatch hooks. The rack has a weight capacity of 90 lbs for three bikes.

To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

I've linked you to some product demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
