Should I get a panoramic sunroof?

Panoramic Sunroofs: Why You Should or Shouldn’t Get One

Here at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, we have all sorts of new and certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Surprising, right?! But in all seriousness, we have a big selection of models for you to choose from. And those models have different options like heating and cooling cup holders, premium leather upholstery, bigger touchscreens, and panoramic sunroofs. We’re here to talk about the last one.

Here are some reasons you should (or maybe shouldn’t) get a panoramic sunroof. Take a look to see if a panoramic sunroof is right for you.



More Sunlight/Moonlight

Pro: Natural Light.

Natural light helps wake us up (and stay awake), while also making things much more visible. Many of us love the feeling of watching the clouds go by, basking in the sun, and stargazing. A panoramic sunroof is a great way to do that.

Con: High interior temperatures.

With all that natural light comes energy. Heat energy, to be precise. And that energy gets trapped in your vehicle. We recommend sliding closed the sunroof shade while your vehicle parked in direct sunlight.

Added Value

Pro: Improved resale value.

Many people love having a panoramic sunroof. Their reasons for doing so may vary, but the result is always increased resale value. If you ever intend to sell your Mercedes-Benz vehicle, then buying one with a panoramic moonroof is a good investment.

Con: Expensive to replace.

Panoramic sunroofs require lots of engineering. The single panel panoramic roofs are particularly dastardly to get right. As a result, they are expensive to make and replace. Many automakers have also switched over to laminated glass for panoramic roofs, increasing costs.
