Which roof box fits my car? 🚗

We recommend rear mounted boxes for best function and comfort

When considering extra storage space for your car, it’s common to weigh both roof boxes and rear mounted boxes. But which option is really the best?
In this guide, we help you understand the differences and why we recommend rear mounted boxes as the best choice for car owners.

Roof boxes – The classic choice on the roof ❌
Roof boxes have long been a popular option for additional storage. They mount on your car’s roof racks and offer plenty of space for luggage, sports equipment, or camping gear. However, they come with some drawbacks: Roof boxes increase your car’s air resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and more wind noise while driving. They also often require climbing onto the car to load and unload, which can be heavy and inconvenient.

Rear mounted boxes – The smart alternative ✅
A rear mounted box, like IXTAbox, is mounted on your car’s tow hitch at the back. Positioned at waist height, it makes loading and unloading much easier and more comfortable. Its placement has less impact on your car’s aerodynamics, which contributes to lower fuel consumption and less noise compared to roof boxes. Additionally, it is often more stable due to its location near the car’s center of gravity.

How to choose the right rear mounted box for your car
When selecting a rear mounted box, it’s important to ensure your car has a tow hitch that can support the weight and that the mounts fit your specific model. 

Also, consider the size you need – IXTAbox comes in several sizes with up to 390 liters of capacity. Choose based on your needs for maximum function and comfort.

We understand that choosing the right storage solution isn’t always easy.
