The Thule Motion Roofbox Makes A Quiet Statement

Yochanaan Coetzee
With the year-end holidays in sight, many people are looking into ways to increase their family car’s carrying capacity.

Although a plethora of options exist, there may be limitations in terms of size, practically and what you’re prepared to sacrifice in terms of noise and efficiency.

Thankfully, Thule – a brand recognised for excellence in this field – has once again been awarded for their advanced range of products. Italian motoring magazine, Automobilismo, recently tested seven roof-mounted luggage boxes and found the Thule Motion XT to be the best.

The title, considered one of the country’s most influential (190 000 copies are printed), scored the “Thule box” 45 out of a possible 50 points with a maximum of 10 achieved in two of five categories. The magazine’s testers found the Thule product to be the quietest, and the leader when it came to quality and details.

To quote the test author: “It is not just about the quality or the perceived robustness. We found that behind Thule there is a careful aerodynamic study that makes this box very silent, without any rustle or hiss, and even consumption is at the top of the competitors on the market.”

A range of Thule products are available from Accessory Fitment Centre, like the Motion 800, which retails for N$11 650. For more information, don’t hesitate to contact them on 061 229 633.
