Hi Mary; I'm sorry to say there are no trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your 2013 Toyota Corolla Sport Hatchback. The point of attachment on the hatchback is plastic so it would fail to keep the bikes secure and damage the vehicle.
Since there are no hitches available for the hatchback model the only remaining option is a roof mounted bike rack. Without an available roof rack you would have to use one like the SeaSucker Komodo # 298-BK1910-BK for 1 bike or SeaSucker Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006 for 2 bikes.
As an alternative, you could have a local fabricator fashion a custom hitch for the Corolla using the # E17. Then you could add the # 76138 to your CX-5. With a hitch on both vehicles you could use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR.
