The first model year for the Mazda CX-5 was 2013 so I assume you have a 2013. I do have a great recommendation for a bike rack that will fit all 3 vehicles. Technically, the Passage, # TH910XT will fit all 3 vehicles.

However, if any of the vehicles have that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the hatch then I recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # TH45JV.

This rack works better with spoilers and is the absolute easiest to install, using only 2 straps instead of the 4-6 of other trunk racks.

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 # 64005. 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 son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
