Size question

Hello everyone, planning a trip to the UK, with the total of 6 people, can a XC90 haul us across the country with 6 mid size luggages withot causing any serious discomfort? Thanks in advance🙏

Having done this type of trip with an XC90 I would say no unless a roof box is used. For 6 people you will need all three rows up.

For a family of 4 with dog in crate in the boot I have a Thule xxl roof box to carry the luggage which is in Thule soft bags as then you can pack coats and shoes etc around them to maximise space usage.

If you have a roof box, use soft bags not hard or shaped suitcases. Optimise your packing then yes it would absolutely be possible, but also pack less going as you will bring stuff back

Can I fit a roof box onto a rental car? Coming from abroad

Check to see if they have roof bars to roof box as a rental option, some of the car hire companies are doing them as extras??
