List Of Kia Models With (Panoramic) Sunroof

Panoramic sunroof in Kia models

Which Kia models in U.S. come available with standard or panorama sunroof?

If you are looking for a Kia vehicle with a sunroof in the US, you are in luck, as most models have that option available.

The exception to the rule is the Kia Rio, which comes with a sunroof in other markets, but which Kia US decided to forego.

One thing worth mentioning here, though, is that not all sunroofs in Kia cars are created equal. They come in a variety of different sizes and styles, and are usually offered as an option, which means adding more money to the base price of the model you want.

The sunroof sizes are different, too, with the standard-sized sunroof being smaller and situated right above the front seats. With the panoramic sunroofs in Kia vehicles, it is almost the entire length of the roof that is covered.

With all of that in mind, we thought it might be a good to create a guide that will help you see the availability and type of sunroof you can get with each Kia model.

Benefits of having a sunroof in your Kia vehicle?

If it’s natural air in the cabin that you are after, you can’t do much better than a panoramic sunroof. Rather than taxing the AC in your Kia, why not open up the panoramic sunroof and let the air from outside cool things off a little more naturally?

Driving a long distance can prove to be uncomfortable, as you are often left feeling a little cramped, even when you have a spacious cabin. With your Kia panoramic sunroof opened up, things automatically start to feel less claustrophobic inside. This is especially true when the passenger seats are all filled, too.

One thing that car owners don’t often consider is that a panoramic sunroof can actually come in handy in an emergency situation. If your doors are damaged in an accident, making it impossible to exit the vehicle, a panoramic sunroof can serve as the ideal emergency exit.

Downsides of a sunroof or panoramic roof in a Kia?

There are a few minor downsides with the panoramic sunroofs.

Due to the roof-integrated mechanism, they decrease the amount of headspace available in your car. In addition to that they also add some weight to the vehicle.

If you frequently ride around with the sunroof open, you will create some additional drag against the airflow. That may result in a slightly increased fuel consumption of your Kia vehicle.

You also need to consider that a sunroof means additional components that may eventually need repairs in years to come.

Sunroofs are worth buying!

Still, if you look at the pros and cons of a panoramic sunroof in any 2024 Kia vehicle, it is the positive aspects that make it a great option.
