Thule Motion XT XL Roof Box Review: A Great Option for Audi Q7 Owners

As a car enthusiast, I was excited to receive my new 22cuft Thule rooftop carrier and put it through its paces. After several months of use, I'm happy to report that it's been a great addition to my vehicle. In this review, I'll share my experiences with the Thule Motion XT XL roof box on my Audi Q7.

The first thing that impressed me was the packaging of the box. The edges of the box where the nose and rear were packaged very well with extra material, which helped reduce damage during shipping. Upon arrival, I was relieved to find that there was zero water damage inside, and nothing was damaged from being in the heat.

I quickly put the box on my Rhino Vortex Aero roof rack, which fit perfectly thanks to its sleek design. The cargo box functioned as expected, providing ample space for my luggage, skis, and snowboards. While it's not the largest box I've ever seen, it was more than sufficient for our needs.

One thing that took some getting used to was closing the lid. It can be a bit tricky, especially when loading heavy items, but I appreciated the fact that it wouldn't lock unless the latches could fully engage. This added an extra layer of security during travel.

In terms of performance, the box did its job well. We traveled through various weather conditions, from rain to scorching heat, and everything arrived in perfect condition at our destination. The only minor issue I encountered was getting the box re-opened once locked if something inside was pushed up against one of the three lock points.

Despite this small quirk, I've been extremely happy with my Thule Motion XT XL roof box. It's easy to install and remove, and it always feels secure when in use. I've used it on several different vehicles and bars, including my Jeep Renegade, VW Golf, and Subaru Forester, without any issues.

In conclusion, the Thule Motion XT XL is a great option for Audi Q7 owners looking for a reliable and spacious roof box. While it may not be the largest or most feature-rich box on the market, it's a great value at its price point. If you're in the market for a new roof box, I highly recommend considering this one.
