Helpful Expert Reply:

The pricing of a hitch and and the installation can vary based on the manufacturer and the location where you get the hitch installed. I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 for your 2020 Mazda CX-5 because it gives you the 2" receiver you likely need with a wheelchair platform plus it comes with a matte black finish that not only looks stylish but it also does a better job at hiding scuffs and marks from road debris than the standard glossy finish on other hitches.

You'll also need wiring and for that I recommend the T-One # 118746 because it tees in behind your tail lights and it's the most reliable option out there.

The pricing for the hitch and wiring can be found on their linked pages. As far as installation the hitch will take on average about 40 minutes to install and the wiring will take about the same for a professional I would imagine. You'll need to call around to local shops to get pricing but I recommend making sure you use one that has a good reputation so you can be confident that the install is good.

Unfortunately I wouldn't have a way of knowing this. My best recommendation is to call the shop up and tell them what you're needing done. The install manuals for the above-mentioned hitch and harness are attached below. You can show the shop these and they should be able to use them to provide a really accurate estimate.
