That's correct that the Draw-Tite # 24912 only fits the sedan model of the 2018 Mazda 3. Instead we carry Draw-Tite # 24914 and Curt # C11377.

Of the two I like the Draw-Tite because it doesn't requrie the support strap, part # 18050, when you're using the hitch to barry a bike rack or cargo carrier.
