How to Determine if Thule Motion XT Cargo Box Allows Rear Hatch of 2019 Audi Q7 to Open

Question:

Hello, I am interested in Thule Motion XT XL, NOT the 18 cubic feet, but the 22 Cubic feet TH6299B. Will the 22 cubic feet fit the Q7 and allow the rear hatch clearance?

Here's how you'll determine if the Thule Motion XT XL part # TH629906 that you referenced will allow the rear hatch of your 2019 Audi Q7 to open without interference. Move the front crossbar of your rack all the way forward and then measure from the center of it back to the rear hatch seam. If that distance is greater than 55 inches this box will fit and allow the rear door to open without interference.

The smaller version of the box part # TH629806 requires 51-1/4 inches instead.
