The Yakima SOLAR Cargo Box is an aftermarket accessory for drivers that will offer them a way to keep additional storage on hand when heading out on long drives. Created as part of the Fall 2020 CBX Collection, the cargo box offers additional space to stow essentials on top of a vehicle instead of needing to rely solely on trunk or cabin space. The streamlined design of the box won't detract too much from the overall aesthetic of the vehicle to help enhance the discreet nature of the storage unit.
The Yakima SOLAR Cargo Box is accented by a solar panel manufactured by California-based Sunflare that produces a 5V output of eco-friendly energy. The box is set for an August 15, 2020 launch at a price point of $1,299.
