The EcoHitch part # 306-X7203 is designed to be completely hidden behind the knockout plate so you don't have to see an unsightly crosstube underneath your vehicle. I attached a picture that I took from an install video that shows the cover installed and removed on a Crossstrek just like yours.
This hitch fits XV Crosstreks from 2013 to 2017 as well.
