Does the Toyota XLE have a moonroof?

The availability of a moonroof on a Toyota XLE depends on the specific model and year. The XLE trim is used across several Toyota models, and moonroof inclusion is not universal.


In more detail, XLE designations appear on models such as Camry, RAV4, Corolla, and Sienna, and whether a moonroof is included can hinge on the year, the generation, and the optional packages selected. Some XLE configurations include a power tilt/slide moonroof as standard or as part of a premium package, while others do not. For a precise answer, check the exact specifications for the year and model you’re interested in or ask a dealer for the VIN-specific build.


Understanding the XLE trim across Toyota models


The XLE badge signals a higher level of equipment and comfort in Toyota’s lineup, but its contents vary by model and generation. What’s standard on one XLE (for example, a moonroof) may be optional or unavailable on another. This means that a Camry XLE can differ from a RAV4 XLE in terms of moonroof availability, depending on the model year and the options chosen.


Moonroof availability by model and year


To determine whether a particular XLE has a moonroof, use these verification steps:



  • Check the window sticker or the dealer’s build sheet for a line item that lists “Moonroof” or “Power Moonroof.”

  • Review the official product page or brochure for the exact year and model to see the standard features and available packages for the XLE trim.

  • Look at the vehicle’s brochure or owner's manual for the moonroof specification and controls.

  • Ask the dealer to confirm with a VIN-specific configuration, which will reflect the exact equipment installed on that vehicle.


By following these steps, you’ll know for sure whether a given Toyota XLE includes a moonroof.


Model-Specific notes (general guidance)


Camry XLE


In many recent Camry generations, the XLE trim has featured enhanced comfort equipment, and a power moonroof has appeared as standard or as part of a higher-level package in several configurations. However, exact availability varies by year and package, so verification is essential.


RAV4 XLE


The RAV4 XLE line often presents moonroof options differently from the Camry. Depending on the year and package, a moonroof may be included, optional, or unavailable on XLE models. Check the specific year’s specs to be sure.


Corolla XLE


For the Corolla, XLE trims have sometimes included a moonroof as part of certain packages or as standard in some years, while other years require upgrading to higher trims or packages. As with other models, confirm for the exact year you’re considering.


What to know for your purchase


Because moonroof availability is year- and model-dependent, there is no single universal answer for “the XLE.” If you’re shopping, have a clear idea of the exact model and year, and verify with the dealer or official specifications. If you share the model (Camry, RAV4, Corolla, or other) and year, I can provide a more precise update on current configurations.


Summary


The Toyota XLE does not guarantee a moonroof across all models and years. Moonroof availability is determined by the specific model (Camry, RAV4, Corolla, etc.), the generation, and the chosen packages. To know for certain, check the window sticker, official brochures, or confirm with a dealer using the exact year and VIN configuration. Always verify for the precise vehicle you’re considering.
