Thank you for all of the information. We need to start off with a trailer hitch for your 2016 Hyundai Elantra and for that we have the Curt # C11303 for the standard sedan.
This is a Class I hitch so our options are a bit limited but for your application the best hitch mount rack we have is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z which works with up to 60" wheelbases (axle to axle).
If you need something longer than that I recommend installing the Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack, parts # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK603, and using the Thule Tandem Roof Mount Bike Rack # TH558P instead as the tray length is 75" so it can deal with a longer wheelbase.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
