I have a solution for you, but there are no vehicle-specific roof rack setups that are custom-fit for your 2013 Hyundai Elantra 2 door coupe. I recommend looking into the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B, which is a universal roof rack that can be easily-mounted to a large variety of vehicles. It uses 6 vacuum cups to attach to the roof of your car. This has a weight capacity of 150lbs and is 48" long with a diameter of 1-1/4".

If you do not like the SeaSucker Roof Rack then you only other option is to use a trailer hitch receiver for hitch-mounted accessories. If you do not have a hitch receiver then I recommend Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11303 which will fit your coupe. This offers a simple installation process which you can see in the installation video I have attached for you.

For a bike rack you will be limited to a 2-bike carrier since the Class 1 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers do not have a weight capacity for 4 bikes. For a 2 bike rack, I would go with Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650. This bike rack uses a padded hook to ratchet down onto the bike's frame and secure it to the carrier. If you plan on hauling women's, children's, or full-suspension bikes then you will want to use Adapter Bar # 64005. This bar will secure any bike tightly to the carrier no matter the frame design.

For a cargo rack you could use Curt 20x48 Hitch Cargo Carrier - 1.25 Inch Hitches and 2 Inch Hitches - Black Powder Coated Steel - 300 lbs # C18110. This is lightweight at only 30lbs and has a weight capacity of 300lbs. Just remember to never exceed the weight capacity of your hitch or vehicle. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
