Many Los Angeles drivers use both “sunroof” and “moonroof” to describe the same feature. They’re actually different. Rolls-Royce vehicles represent the best of British luxury and offer upscale options like sunroofs and panoramic roofs. Compare moonroof vs. sunroof systems below and learn more about their differences and find out which better suits your preferences for your new model.

What’s the Difference Between a Sunroof and a Moonroof?

There are a few differences between sunroofs and moonroofs. The purpose of both, however, is the same — to create a feeling of openness inside the cabin of a vehicle and to let a breath of fresh air whenever the mood strikes. Compare the two below:

  • Sunroof — A sunroof is a glass panel that fits into the roof of a car. You can pop or slide a sunroof open.
  • Moonroof — A moonroof is a tinted glass panel that fits in between the headliner and roof. It can also be opened from inside the cabin.

There’s more than one type of sunroof or moonroof. Electric, electronic, pop-up, spoiler, inbuilt, top-mount, solar, and removable sunroofs and moonroofs are all available on the automotive market. Keep in mind, however, that they may not necessarily be available for a Rolls-Royce.

What is a Panoramic Roof & How Does it Work?

One of the most popular types of sunroofs/moonroofs is the panoramic roof. These can be found on luxury and non-luxury vehicles alike, and are typically available as optional add-ons. What differentiates the panoramic roof from the standard sunroof or moonroof is the multiple panels, which give passengers in the front and rear skyward views and the chance to enjoy fresh air around Los Angeles. These panels can be operational or fixed, depending on the system.
