In a short while winter will come and reclaim its old position - and then come the holidays in the snow, with the whole family and plenty of luggage in tow. Travellers who want to minimise packing stress later can start thinking now while everything is still calm about how to make sure they have enough stowage space. The genuine accessories range from Mercedes-Benz can help. Its selection offers many transport systems [1] perfectly tailored to the different vehicles, for any application and any taste.

With dimensions of 220 x 80 x 40 [2] it leaves no transport issue unresolved. The Mercedes-Benz roof box 450 is a brilliant space-maker amongst the portable roof boxes from the genuine accessories range. Its load volume of 450 litres is equivalent to the space available in a C-Class boot. That means the box can provide enough space for the winter sports gear of a family of four, for example. And the equipment will stay completely protected from dirt and spraying water. An especially convenient feature: thanks to a new mechanism, the roof box can be opened or closed from either the right or left side. And visually this space-making wonder, which was optimised in the wind tunnel, fits in harmoniously with the design line of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In addition to the classic colour choice of silver metallic, the box is now also available in black metallic. Anyone who would like an even more unusual option can have the roof box painted in their personal colour of choice at their Mercedes-Benz dealer. The roof box 450 has a load capacity of 50 kilograms and offers the user plenty of free space when individually planning holidays and leisure time.
