Shopping for a new vehicle in Irvine and want to make sure you get the right type of roof for your drives? You may notice many sunroof and moonroof options, but what’s the difference? Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same. Learn more about roof types below, and contact Jaguar Newport Beach if you have any questions!
Sunroof vs. Moonroof
Sunroof
A sunroof is a glass or metal panel installed in the roof of a vehicle. It can slide open or pop up to allow airflow and, if made of glass, natural light.
Moonroof
A moonroof is usually a tinted or clear glass panel that slides between the roof and the headliner. It often tilts open to ventilate the cabin.
What Are Panoramic Roof Systems?
There are many types of sunroofs and moonroofs, including pop-up, spoiler, inbuilt, top-mount, solar, removable, electric, and electronic styles. One of the most popular options around Costa Mesa is the panoramic roof.
- Often available as an upgrade, though increasingly standard on luxury vehicles.
- Depending on vehicle size, it may feature dual panels separated by a support bar or a single large glass section.
- Panels may be fixed or operable; dual-pane designs let front and rear passengers choose whether to open one or both panels.
