High capacity roof box with a sleek glossy finish

The Thule Motion 3 XL is a premium, high-capacity roof box designed for drivers who need extra space for holidays, family trips and outdoor adventures. Combining generous storage with a sleek, modern design, it provides a practical way to carry additional luggage and equipment without filling the boot or compromising passenger comfort. With its large internal capacity, the Motion 3 XL is ideal when you need to transport suitcases, travel bags, pushchairs, camping equipment, sports gear and other bulky essentials. By allowing larger items to be securely loaded onto the roof, you can make better use of the space inside your vehicle, or simply stretch out a little more.


With a streamlined, aerodynamic profile the Motion 3 XL has a contemporary appearance that complements a wide range of modern vehicles. The carefully designed shape helps minimise unnecessary bulk while providing the substantial storage capacity required for longer journeys. Despite its impressive size, the roof box maintains the premium styling and practical design expected from Thule.


The Motion 3 XL has been designed with everyday convenience in mind. Its dual-side opening allows easy access to your belongings from either side of the vehicle, making loading and unloading much simpler, particularly when parked in a busy area. The secure central locking system provides added peace of mind by helping ensure the box is properly closed and your belongings remain safely stored while travelling, the key is designed to not be removed until the lid is properly closed, also indicated by the visible red square. Installation is also designed to be straightforward when used with compatible roof bars, allowing you to fit the box securely and get on the road with minimal fuss. The PowerClick mounting system is simple to use, turning the internal dial to tighten, with an audible click when appropriately tightened.

Whether you’re heading abroad for the family holiday, travelling to the mountains for a skiing trip, planning a long road trip or simply need extra storage for a weekend away, the Thule Motion 3 XL gives you the freedom to take more with you. With its generous capacity, dual-side access, secure locking system, aerodynamic styling and practical installation, the Thule Motion 3 XL is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a spacious and dependable roof box that combines functionality with premium design.
