Extra Large Roof Box with Sleek Aerodynamic Design
Maximise the storage capability of your vehicle with the Thule Motion 3 XL roof box. This extra large roof box provides a huge 490L of storage volume with a 75kg weight capacity. Great for family holidays to carry multiple suitcases, beach gear and more. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of space for camping and hiking gear and for sporting pursuits there is space for multiple skis and snowboards up to 200cm in length. For anglers there is plenty of space for fishing rods too!
The sleek aerodynamic design keeps wind noise down and provides better fuel efficiency. Enjoy dual-sided opening so you can access the contents of the box from either side of your vehicle. A large handle makes it easier to close the box, or add-on the optional Pull Strap for more convenience - useful for taller vehicles. An internal brace system adds rigidity to the lid for smoother and easier opening and closing. The SlideLock mechanism provides a visual indicator to show when the lid is fully closed for secure locking to keep your contents safe for peace of mind.
Fitting the Motion 3 XL to your roof bars is made super easy with the PowerClick mounting clamps. These feature a torque-limited turn-dial that will click once the correct mounting pressure is reached. Simply place the jaws of the clamp over your roof bars and turn the dial until the click... easy! The Powerclick clamps work with all popular roof bars including WingBar Evo, WingBar Edge, SquareBar and many other branded roof bars. You can also T-Track mount the box to compatible bar systems using an additional T-Track Adapter. The mounting point feature adjustable runners allowing the Motion 3 to fit to a wide range of roof bar spacings from 550mm up to 930mm.
The Motion 3 XL is a top choice for those wanting lots of storage space in a roof box. The XL size suits larger cars / estate cars, SUVs and vans. A popular choice for road trips both in the UK and Europe where you need to take plenty of equipment with you. The Motion 3 XL is available in two colour options - Black Glossy and Titan Glossy that look great on all modern vehicles.

Powerclick Clamp Mounts
Powerclick Clamp Mounts
Fitting the Motion 3 box to your roof bars is made easy thanks to the torque-limited Powerclick Mounting Clamps. Simply place over compatible roof bars and turn the dial until you hear the clamp click to indicate the correct mounting pressure has been applied.
Boot Hatch Clearance
When mounted on your vehicle’s roof, a roof box may come into contact with your rear boot hatch. To determine which roof boxes fit your vehicle without contacting your hatch, measure the front clearance. This is the distance from your vehicle's front roof rack crossbar to the point where the roof meets the hatch (see image below).

If your vehicle measures greater than 1324 mm, the Motion 3 XL roof box will fit your vehicle without contacting your hatch.
Note: Some roof racks that use flush rail, raised rail or fix point fittings feature adjustable position crossbars. Moving the crossbars forward on the vehicle will increase the number of roof box models that fit without contacting the boot. If you're unsure whether your vehicle's crossbars can be re-positioned, see your vehicle or roof rack manufacturer for assistance.
