Does the 2017 Honda Civic have a sunroof?

Yes, but only on certain trims; the base LX typically does not have a sunroof.


The 2017 Honda Civic lineup included several trims and body styles (sedan and hatchback). Sunroof availability is not universal across all configurations and can vary by market. This article outlines which trims commonly include a sunroof and how to verify the feature on a specific car.


Sunroof availability by trim (sedan and hatchback)


The following trims typically offer a sunroof (one-touch power moonroof) on 2017 Civics. Exact equipment can vary by market and model year variant, so always confirm with the specific vehicle listing.



  • LX: Generally does not include a sunroof.

  • EX and EX-T: Usually include a one-touch power moonroof.

  • EX-L and Touring: Typically include a sunroof as part of the standard equipment, depending on the body style.


In practice, the LX base model tends to be the only trim without a sunroof, while higher trims commonly feature one. Always verify the exact configuration for the car you’re considering.


Sedan vs hatchback considerations


Sunroof availability can differ between the Civic’s sedan and hatchback bodies. While the general rule above applies to many trims, some hatchback variants may have different standard equipment or package options. When shopping, check the specific model’s feature list for the exact body style.


How to verify a sunroof on a specific Civic


To confirm whether a particular 2017 Civic has a sunroof, use the following checks.



  • Look at the window sticker (Monroney label) for mentions of a Moonroof or Power Moonroof.

  • Inspect the overhead area inside the cabin for a sunroof switch or controls; a tilt/slide switch indicates a moonroof.

  • Review the vehicle’s features list or build sheet provided by the seller or dealer.

  • If buying used, run a VIN lookup or request documentation to verify option codes related to a sunroof.


By cross-checking these sources, you can confirm whether a 2017 Civic has a sunroof before purchasing.


Summary


The 2017 Honda Civic does not universally include a sunroof. A sunroof is typically present on higher trims such as EX, EX-T, EX-L, and Touring, while the LX base model usually omits it.
