10 best cars with a panoramic sunroof

February 02, 2022 by

If you’re looking to let some light into your car, a panoramic sunroof is a good way to go.

This (usually optional) feature replaces the metal roof panel with a large glass one to bring a taste of driving a convertible without having the downside associated with a folding roof.

A huge range of models can be had with a large glass roof. These (ranked according to their carwow wowscore) are some of the best cars with a panoramic sunroof available today.

The best cars available with a panoramic sunroof:

  1. Peugeot e-208
  2. Audi Q5
  3. VW Golf R
  4. Kia EV6
  5. BMW X3
  6. Mercedes S-Class
  7. Porsche Taycan
  8. Skoda Kodiaq
  9. BMW 3 Series Touring
  10. Audi A6

1. Peugeot e-208

If you’re looking for an urban-friendly way to enjoy some sunshine, the Peugeot e-208 has you covered. This electric hatchback can be had with an optional full-glass sunroof, allowing for plenty of light into the interior.

You’ll need to step up to the GT trim to have access to this sunroof. This model also comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights and a 10-inch infotainment system.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £500
Trims available with sunroof: GT and up
wowscore: 9/10

2. Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 is one of the best family SUVs out there, and you can brighten everyone’s day by opting for one with a panoramic sunroof.

A large glass roof is only available on high-spec Vorsprung models, but it can be opened almost completely. You’ll get 21-inch alloy wheels on this trim to add even more style, too.

Sunroof optional?: Standard on Vorsprung
Trims available with sunroof: Vorsprung only
wowscore: 9/10

3. VW Golf R

One of the best hot hatches on the market, and one that’s available with a sunroof? It’d be rude not to put the Volkswagen Golf R on this list.

This 320hp box of fun can be had optionally with a panoramic sunroof, which comes with sliding and tilt functions. This upgrade costs £1,020, so it’s certainly worth considering.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £1,020
wowscore: 9/10

4. Kia EV6

Though the interior of the Kia EV6 is already a roomy car, opting for one with a sunroof helps bring an even airier feel to it.

You will have to stump up to range-topping GT-Line S models for it, but this will also bring 20-inch alloy wheels and a high-quality Meridian audio system.

Sunroof optional?: Standard on GT-Line S
Trims available with sunroof: GT-Line S only
wowscore: 9/10

5. BMW X3

Another spacious SUV enhanced even further with a sunroof is the BMW X3.

Unlike a lot of other cars on the market, you can have a sunroof on all versions of this practical family SUV for £1,190.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £1,190
Trims available with sunroof: all versions
wowscore: 9/10

6. Mercedes S-Class

The Mercedes S-Class is the ultimate in luxury saloons. It’s even better if you opt for one with the huge panoramic sunroof.

That said, you can only have it with the £6,695 Premium Equipment Line package. This does bring a load of other goodies though, including a 360-degree camera and a Burmester surround-sound audio system.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £6,695 (part of Premium Equipment Line package)
Trims available with sunroof: all versions
wowscore: 9/10

7. Porsche Taycan

As one of the most cutting-edge electric saloons available, it won’t shock you to find there are plenty of options for the Porsche Taycan. A must-have is its panoramic roof.

This swaps the whole metal roof panel out for a large glass panel. You can’t open it, unfortunately, but it still brings plenty of light into the interior.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £1,137
Trims available with sunroof: all versions
wowscore: 9/10

8. Skoda Kodiaq

You can bring a bit of sun to the whole family with the panoramic sunroof of the Skoda Kodiaq.

This seven-seater has the option of a huge glass panel that can be opened. It’s available optionally across all versions of the Kodiaq and comes as standard on high-spec L&K models.

Sunroof optional?: Yes (standard on L&K)
Cost of sunroof: £1,255
Trims available with sunroof: all versions
wowscore: 9/10

9. BMW 3 Series Touring

The BMW 3 Series Touring is one of the best in the business of practical estate cars. You’ll be glad to know it can be had with a panoramic sunroof.

Available optionally on all models, this sunroof stretches right to the back of the car and can be slid most of the way back.

Sunroof optional?: Yes
Cost of sunroof: £1,190
Trims available with sunroof: all versions
wowscore: 9/10

10. Audi A6

If a big, comfy saloon is on your list, the Audi A6 has you covered. This roomy choice can be had with a panoramic sunroof for an even greater sense of space.

As with the Q5 SUV, you’ll need to step up to Vorsprung for the sunroof. You will also have plenty of other goodies with that including a Bang & Olufsen sound system and matrix LED headlights.

Sunroof optional?: Standard on Vorsprung
Cost of sunroof: £1,190
Trims available with sunroof: Vorsprung only
