There are a number of bike rack options available for you, but the only options for trunk-mounted bike racks that work with your 2014 Nissan Rogue that has a spoiler are from SeaSucker. By far the most economical of those options is the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack # 298-BH1302 which is a 1-bike rack that secures the bike by the handlebars, uses vacuum cups to attach to the rear of your Rogue and has a 35 lb per bike capacity.

This is a quality, safe way to carry your bikes, but I also recommend taking a look at a hitch and hitch-mounted bike rack, which gives you a lot more bike rack options. For a hitch the Draw-Tite # 75902 fits your '14 Rogue and is a Class III, 2" hitch that is a bolt-on installation.

For a bike rack, you will need one that measures about 6" from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack (because the hitch is recessed under your Rogue) and a great option is the Saris Freedom # SA4412B. This is a 2-bike platform rack that secures your bikes by the downtubes or top tubes and has wheel trays which slide so you can transport bikes of different lengths.

The Freedom also has a folding upright mast so you can get to your Rogue's rear storage without removing the rack, a shank that rises 8" to give you additional ground clearance, has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity and is very lightweight at just 22-1/2 lbs, making it easy to handle. It comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin, though to protect your investment you can lock the rack to your hitch with the Anti-Rattle Lock # SA3022 and lock your bikes to the rack with Cable Lock # SA981.
