The next step up when the 450 is tight. Especially for ski holidays with skis up to 200 cm and families with more luggage.

Description
500 litres is the step you take when the 450 runs out of space — long trips, a family ski holiday, or a lot of bulky gear. The jump from 450 to 500 litres sounds small, but the extra 15 cm of interior length makes the difference for skis, snowboards or a third large suitcase.
Typical uses: family holiday with 2–3 children, ski holiday with skis up to 200 cm, multi-week trips, camping trip for a family of four with full gear.
The right choice for mid-size cars, SUVs and estates – including models like VW Passat or Tiguan, Ford Focus Estate or Kuga, Opel Astra Sports Tourer or Grandland, Skoda Octavia Estate, Audi A4 Avant, BMW 3 Series Touring, Mercedes C-Class Estate or GLC. For even more luggage, we recommend our 600 Litre Roof Box. Driving a smaller vehicle? Our 300 Litre Roof Box or 450 Litre Roof Box are often the better choice – we're happy to advise.
Important before booking: check your car's roof load rating (usually 75–100 kg). The box itself weighs about 20–24 kg, which counts towards that limit.
What fits inside?
Holiday luggage for 5, 5–7 pairs of skis up to 200 cm plus boots and helmets, camping gear for a family of four, three large suitcases side by side.
What doesn’t fit?
Skis or snowboards over 200 cm (please choose the 600-litre category), items longer than 197 cm.
Which model do you get?
This category currently includes the Thule Force XT XL, Thule Motion XT XL or Thule Motion 3 XL. All three offer 500 litres of volume, 75 kg load capacity and dual-side opening.
