ROOF BOX OR CARGO BOX – WHAT’S THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU?
CLASSIC ROOF BOX OR MODERN CARGO BOX?
When your car doesn’t offer enough space, a roof box is the classic choice. But it might not be the best option for your specific needs. Enter Senja – our new cargo box – a smarter alternative for many vehicles. So… should you choose a roof box or a cargo box? Let’s take a look at how to decide which solution is right for your car.
A roof box is often the go-to option for families, skiers, or summer travelers who need lots of extra space. It’s mounted on the car’s roof rack and offers several hundred liters of additional storage for items like skis, camping gear, or suitcases. An alternative to the roof box is a cargo box – also called a tow box or rear box. It’s mounted on the towbar and is easy to install and access, at a comfortable height for all users.
ROOF BOX OR CARGO BOX – WHAT FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE?
Both roof boxes and cargo boxes have their pros and cons. The real question is: What matters most to you when choosing your packing solution?

Cargo Box (Senja)
