What is the Largest Cargo Box that Fits My 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL?

Question:

Will a Yakima SkyBox 21 fit on the OEM roof rack of a 2019 Santa Fe XL? Im looking to get this and Ive seen mixed information on the fit. Ive looked at the specs and I think it will fit, but Im not certain. Any advice is appreciated.

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Yakima that the Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite # Y07337 does not fit around your factory crossbars on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL. None of the smaller Yakima cargo boxes will fit.

However, there is another great option for you. That is the Thule Motion XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Titan Glossy # TH629907. The XT XXL comes with an extra square foot of internal storage space and includes 3 load straps and 6 integrated anchor points that let you secure cargo inside the box. As far as compatibility with your crossbars, the box will clamp around your factory bars as long as they do not exceed 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-11/16 inches tall. With this cargo box, you have enough room on your roof to fully open your rear hatch with the box mounted.
