Will the Thule Motion XT Cargo Box Interfere W/ The Rear Hatch & Radio On A 2020 Audi Q5?

Question:

Hello, I hope you are well. I am looking to buy either the Thule Motion XT L or XL. I have an Audi Q5 year 2020. I am wondering whether XL size will be too large for the hatch back to open or if it will interfere with the navigation/radio system. I have the factory Audi roof rails running along the length of my car and have the Audi crossbars that came with my car to run width-wise. Thank you,

As long as you have 47-1/2" of clearance from the front crossbar and the line where the roof and hatch meet, then the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 will not interfere with the rear hatch on your 2020 Audi Q5.

Additionally, as long you're not carrying anything metallic at the back of your vehicle then the Thule Motion XT will not interfere with the radio/navigation.
