The Thule Evolution cargo box has been discontinued since 2007 so I do not have any fit information on it. But I can tell you how to figure it out. First, there were two types of Evolution cargo box. One had just drilled holes for the mounting feet and the other had slots with more adjustability.

In either case you will measure from the center of the forward most mounting foot position straight back to the furthest part at the back of the box.

Then with the front crossbar as far forward as it will go (if the bar can be moved) measure from the center of the front bar straight back to the nearest obstruction (antenna) or to the seam between the top of the hatch and roof. If the second measurement is longer than the first then the box will fit without interference.
