Question:
Will this rack fit a 2015 Honda CR-V, and does the frame swing down enough to get into the hatch? Thank you very much.

The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style part # S64650 will fit the 2015 Honda CR-V as long as you have a hitch on your vehicle. However, the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack is not a tilt-away rack so you need to remove the bikes from the rack to get into the rear cargo aera of the CR-V.
Instead, I recommend Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches part # S64671 for the 2015 Honda CR-V because it tilts away with or without the bikes loaded for rear cargo access in the Honda. I recommend to use Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks part # S64030 to lock the rack and bikes.
If you do not have a hitch on the vehicle, I recommend etrailer.com hitch part # e98868. This hitch is a very simple install that does not require drilling into the frame. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
