About this deal

In this article we will explain the big differences between both Thule models namely the Motion and the Touring series. Some users say that this car roof box doesn’t come with the best instructions, but the ease of installation means that it is all pretty easy to figure out without many diagrams.

It’s worth taking the time to read the instructions properly, as it’s initially a touch fiddly, but once you’ve fitted one the rest follow relatively simply. Dual Side opening so you can choose to use it on either side of the vehicle, and to make for easier fitting and removal. Summary: does this mean that the Thule Touring 200 storage option still a highly recommendable product?

That’s a huge leap over the 251 litres of bootspace the Volkswagen Up it’s fitted to here, adding real practicality to the compact city car. Not that it’s limited to small cars - the Thule Touring S can be fitted to any car, using Thule’s extensive roof bar and mounting kits. This allows you to use a roof box and, with the benefit of experience, to exchange it for a new one within 90 days of invoice date, only paying a contribution to our carriage costs. Most exchanges are from a shorter box to a longer one, or from a wider box to a narrower one. The Touring can fitted where the roof bars are a minimum of 51.5 cm and a maximum of 92.5 cm while the Motion can be fitted to a minimum spacing of 57 cm to a maximum of 97 cm. The higher maximum width of the Motion series enables the possibility of this roof box to be positioned further towards the front of the vehicle. Providing greater access to the boot when using a slightly larger roof box, or where the boot has a higher opening position. Fitting tips: A box is generally easier to load and unload if it's fitted towards the edge of a vehicle; you'll probably always be stretching if you fit it centrally. If you want to keep your roof box in pristine condition, don’t place or store it on tarmac, gravel or concrete.

Both models have dual side opening capabilities for the exception of one size in the Touring series. Which is the Touring 600, this box can only be loaded from one side, while all the other boxes can be loaded from both sides. If you are interested in having a narrow roof box but want the benefit from a dual side opening roof box, then we suggest going for the Thule Motion 600 roof box.Carrying skis? The Pacific 200 will hold 5 to 7 pairs of skis, maximum length 155cm. There’s a ski carrier accessory, part no. 694800, shown below. The finish of the mounts is impeccable, as is that of the bars mounted to them. The WingBars slot into the feet easily, a sharp knife (or scissors) all that’s required to cut the rubber strips that cover the fitting channels. Once fitted, the Ocean 200 is easy to use and impressive. We fitted it to a Nissan Pulsar - and found the box to be great for family holidays. It will easily take a set of three suitcases, which cuts down on the clutter inside and frees up valuable interior space. The special Titan Aeroskin finish provides a stylish look making you feel that the Touring series has incorporated a future metal technology.

With the Touring S in place there’s inevitably some increase in wind noise on the move, though it’s not so noticeable to be intrusive. Being high and wide it easily swallowed a full-sized suitcase and a carry-on one, with ample space for squashy bags, a pushchair and anything else you might want to carry. The biggest issue is where to stow it when not in use, but that’s true of all its rivals. If you’re after useful extra space (whatever the size of your car) it’s difficult to ignore how well engineered Thule’s roof box and bars are.

If you need more than 1 of any item, change the quantities in the Shopping Basket. Item: When choosing a roof box such as the Thule Motion or Touring series, it can be hard to find what the differences are between both models, it becomes even harder when they are visually very similar. A great sized roof box; loads of capacity without being too long. It still leaves you with the option of carrying bikes next to it on most roof bars. Features such as 'fast-grip' roof bar fittings and dual side opening make it really easy to fit and to use.

If that sounds like too much then you can opt for smaller load carriers. The Thule Ocean range starts with the Ocean 80 - with 320 litres of luggage space - and moves up to the Ocean 100 with 360 litres of space. There’s also the Ocean 600 which surprisingly has less space than the Ocean 100 at 330 litres, but is a narrower, half width roof box. What is practical, however is the way that this glossy, sleek design adds to an aerodynamic shape. There is no sense of drag or extra fuel consumption that is sometimes associated with these big, heavy boxes. If you’ve the luxury of a garage Thule offers a solution to hang it above the car when it’s not in use. There’s a wide range of accessories that can be fitted to the bars themselves, or within the box itself. If you can think it, or want to carry it, there seems to be a neat solution to do so. Roof storage like the Thule Touring 200 Roof Box is essential for any family looking to head out on holiday by car and this model promises to be a great option for large groups that need a spacious, secure system.Thule Roof Boxes are a great addition if you are going on a road trip / holiday and need extra space. In general both are suitable for all vehicles, as on most vehicles the average bar positioning is 70 cm apart. Which means both roof boxes can be fitted. It is however extremely rare for any vehicle not to be suited to one or the other roof box types (less than 1 %).
