Low-Profile Design with Generous 480L Storage

One of the biggest advantages of the Thule Motion 3 XXL Low is its combination of substantial storage capacity and a low-profile design.

Measuring 232 × 92 × 37cm, this premium roof box provides 480 litres of additional luggage space while maintaining a streamlined roof-mounted profile.

Its lower height makes it particularly attractive to drivers who want a large roof box without the appearance and bulk of a taller cargo carrier.

The spacious interior is suitable for family luggage, outdoor clothing, camping equipment and longer winter sports gear, making it a versatile choice for year-round travel.

Extra-Long Roof Box for Skiing & Snowboarding

The Thule Motion 3 XXL Low 480L Roof Box is especially well suited to winter sports enthusiasts.

With an internal length of 220cm, it can accommodate compatible skis measuring up to 215cm long.

Depending on equipment dimensions, the roof box provides space for approximately 5–7 pairs of skis or 3–5 snowboards.

This makes it an excellent choice for skiing trips to the Scottish Highlands, Glencoe, the Cairngorms and European ski resorts.

For additional organisation, the compatible Thule Box Ski Carrier Adapter 694-9 is available separately.

Premium Aerodynamic Design

The Thule Motion 3 XXL Low features a carefully engineered wing-shaped profile with a distinctive forward-leaning nose.

This aerodynamic shape is designed to minimise wind resistance while maintaining excellent luggage capacity.

Combined with its lower overall height, the Motion 3 XXL Low delivers a refined appearance that complements modern vehicles.

The premium Black Glossy finish adds a stylish touch, making this roof box particularly appealing to drivers who want both practicality and design.

Actual wind noise and fuel consumption will depend on your vehicle, roof bar system and driving conditions.

Quick & Secure Installation with PowerClick

Thule's innovative PowerClick mounting system makes fitting the Motion 3 XXL Low to compatible roof bars simple and convenient.

The integrated torque indicator produces an audible click when the mounting hardware reaches the correct tightening force.

This helps ensure the roof box is properly secured before travelling.

The quick-mount design is especially useful for customers who regularly install and remove their roof box between holidays and outdoor adventures.

Secure Storage with SlideLock

The SlideLock locking system combines practical security with convenient everyday access.

Its separate opening and locking functions automatically secure the roof box lid when correctly closed.

The system also indicates when the lid is properly locked, helping provide additional reassurance before setting off.

Whether you're transporting expensive skiing equipment, family luggage or outdoor accessories, SlideLock makes using your Thule roof box straightforward.

Dual-Side Opening & Easy One-Handed Access

The Thule Motion 3 XXL Low features a convenient dual-side opening system, allowing you to access your luggage from either side of the vehicle.

The sturdy lid and wide ergonomic handle are designed for smooth one-handed opening and closing.

This makes loading suitcases, retrieving skiing equipment and organising belongings easier, particularly during longer journeys.

The forward-mounted design also helps reduce the risk of interference with your vehicle's rear hatch.

Ideal for Scottish Road Trips & Outdoor Adventures

From family holidays around Loch Lomond to skiing adventures in the Cairngorms, the Thule Motion 3 XXL Low Roof Box offers practical extra storage for exploring Scotland.

Its spacious 480L capacity, low-profile design and ability to accommodate long skis make it particularly attractive to active families, skiing enthusiasts and long-distance travellers.

Whether you're driving the North Coast 500, heading into the Scottish Highlands or setting off across Europe, the Motion 3 XXL Low provides additional storage without compromising its sleek appearance.

Vehicle & Roof Bar Compatibility

The Thule Motion 3 XXL Low is compatible with several Thule roof bar systems, including WingBar Evo, WingBar Edge, WingBar and SquareBar Evo.

Some systems require additional mounting accessories:

• Thule SlideBar and ProBar Evo – Thule T-Track Adapter 697-6.

• Thule Caprock – Thule Caprock Cargo Box Kit.

Before purchasing, check your vehicle's maximum permitted roof load, roof bar compatibility and rear tailgate clearance.

The roof box itself weighs 25kg and can carry up to 75kg of cargo. The combined weight of the roof box, roof bars and contents must remain within your vehicle's permitted roof load.

Thule specifies a front clearance requirement greater than 1391mm to help prevent the roof box contacting your vehicle's rear hatch.

Although the low-profile design reduces the height of the roof box, it does not guarantee clearance beneath garages, car parks or height restrictions. Always measure your vehicle's total height with the roof box installed.
