Does Venza have open roof?
Yes — a panoramic glass roof with a power moonroof is available on higher Venza trims, providing an opening roof experience. Base trims typically do not include an operable roof.
Overview of the roof feature
There is a roof option in the Venza lineup that spans the cabin with a panoramic glass panel. When equipped on eligible trims, this roof includes a power tilt/slide moonroof and a sunshade to control light and heat. Availability and the degree of openness can vary by model year and market.
By trim and year
Overview of roof availability by trim for recent Venza models:
- LE — Generally does not include an opening panoramic roof; some markets may offer a fixed glass roof or no sunroof on this base trim.
- XLE — Panoramic glass roof with a power moonroof is commonly available or included, providing an operable roof experience.
- Limited — Panoramic glass roof with power moonroof is typically standard or readily available, offering the most openness.
Availability varies by year and market; the XLE and Limited trims frequently offer the panoramic roof with a functioning moonroof, while LE is less likely to include it.
How the roof works and why it matters
The Venza’s panoramic roof is designed to let in more natural light and create a sense of openness inside the cabin. When equipped with a moonroof, you typically get a tilt/sliding mechanism, a sunshade, and sometimes two-panel operation. It can enhance the interior feel, but it may add weight and affect headroom perception in some configurations.
Model-year and market variations
Roof options can shift across model years and regional markets. Toyota updates trims and feature selections over time, so the exact configuration for a given year may differ from another.
To confirm for a specific vehicle, review the official brochure for that model year or check the dealer configuration sheet, which will specify whether a panoramic glass roof with a power moonroof is included or offered as an option on your chosen trim.
Frequently asked clarifications
Common questions about how the roof operates on the Venza:
- Does the Venza have a sunroof that opens? Yes, on higher trims (XLE and Limited) the panoramic glass roof typically includes a power moonroof that opens, while LE may not include this feature.
- Is the roof purely decorative? No—the panoramic roof with a moonroof is an operable feature on trims that offer it, not just a fixed pane.
Because features can change with each model year and market, always verify the exact roof configuration when you’re shopping for a Venza.
Summary
The Toyota Venza does offer an open-roof experience on select trims, with a panoramic glass roof and power moonroof commonly available on XLE and Limited. The base LE trim often does not include an operable roof. For the most accurate answer, check the specific model year and regional specifications with a dealer or the official Toyota brochure.

Why is the Toyota Venza not selling?
Market repositioning and overlap: Toyota phased out the first-generation Venza (2008--2015) because it overlapped with other Toyota models (Camry, RAV4, Highlander) and sales were modest. The Venza's mid-size crossover niche was narrow--between sedans and larger SUVs--so Toyota chose to consolidate offerings.
