Thule doesn't recognize this as fitting, but one of the reviews says: The L size fits perfectly on 2017 CX 5 with standard Mazda crossbars

The box (77 x 36 x 17 in) is very similar in size to the Force XT L (74.75 x 33 x 18 in) which Thule recognizes as fitting.

Anyone have one of these?

Thanks.
 
Just visited REI where a patient salesman helpfully showed me the Thule website View All option when fitting my car. Ah.

So the Motion is recognized as fitting.

Still, can anyone tell me anything about the box?
 
Mounted as rear-most as possible. Did need to adjust the lifted hatch position a bit.

Do wish Thule offered the L length (77") with the Alpine height (13.25"), but looks (to my eyes) nicely proportionate.

Very little noise to 75 with the sun roof shade open (almost none with it drawn), and not much more than tire noise to 85.

Didn't have a chance to get much above 85, but seemed very stable. I'll be comfortable testing above 85 when I have the chance.

Pretty happy with it.
 
Working on it (juggling phones and service providers at the moment).

I'd go with the XL if I had a CX-9.
