We do have some options for you to carry bikes with your 2021 Lexus RX 350L but it doesn't look like there has been a trunk bike rack confirmed as a fit for a Lexus RX 350L for quite some time (if ever). To transport some bikes with your 2021 Lexus RX 350L you'll either need to use a hitch mount or roof mount bike rack.

For a hitch mount I recommend installing the Curt # C13394 which fits as long as you don't have the dual exhaust and if your spare is not on the aluminum rim. Then for a bike rack that is closest in style to the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR that you currently have, you'll want to go with the Thule Apex XT which comes in 2-Bike # TH9024XT and 4-Bike # TH9025XT configurations.

If you'd rather look at a roof mount option then the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack # 298-BM2006 is what I recommend checking out because it mounts directly to your roof so you don't have to purchase both a roof rack and bike rack. Added benefits of this system is that it is really easy to store plus it can fit virtually any vehicle so if you end up getting a new vehicle in the future you can still use this.
