The Curt Hitch part # C11250 that you referenced is a Class I hitch which means it can only carry up to 2 bikes at a time. Any more than that and you will end up putting an undue amount of stress on the hitch/vehicle attachment points. Since Curt require you use a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack and Draw Tite does not I would recommend the # 24884 for your 2015 Hyundai Accent instead.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
