In brief
- Car: Toyota RAV4, fifth generation (XA50).

- Capacity: volume of 460 litres.
- Fitting: on roof bars, with 60 mm U-bolt or 20 mm T-track fittings.
About the car: Toyota RAV4 fifth generation (XA50)
The RAV4 XA50 is the fifth generation of the Toyota RAV4, built from November 2018 to December 2025, a 5-door SUV on the TNGA-K (GA-K) platform. In September 2021, for the 2022 model year, the model received a facelift with LED projector headlights.
The roof box sits on the roof bars, so the first question is which roof bars the car has and which type of fitting they accept. The Marathon Dark 460 comes with two fitting options, U-bolt and T-track, so it suits both classic-profile roof bars and roof bars with a T-track. The Toyota UK data sheet for the RAV4 Hybrid gives 1,685 mm height without roof bars and box, to which you add about 36 cm for the box and the height of the roof bars.
What we fitted on this Toyota RAV4
Menabo Marathon Dark 460 roof box has a volume of 460 litres and is made of ABS plastic, matt black. It opens on one side, the right, and has a lock. It takes bags, trolley cases and other things that no longer fit in the boot, for example on a trip to the mountains or the seaside.
The pack includes the 60 mm U-bolt fitting and the 20 mm T-track fitting, and for thicker roof bars there is the optional 80 mm U-bolt fitting, code 000065000000. You will find the fitting instructions below as a PDF.
