Which Forester model has a sunroof?

Sunroofs are not available on the base Forester; higher trims include a sunroof or panoramic sunroof, with Limited and Touring typically offering the panoramic version.


The following overview clarifies which current Forester trims offer a sunroof and what type you can expect, noting that features can vary by model year and market. This guide reflects the latest US-spec lineup for recent model years and may differ in other regions.


Trims and sunroof availability


Below is a trim-by-trim guide to sunroof type for the latest Forester lineup. The details can differ by year and region, so verify on the window sticker or with a dealer.



  • Base: No sunroof.

  • Premium: Power glass moonroof (tilt/slide).

  • Sport: Power glass moonroof (tilt/slide).

  • Limited: Panoramic sunroof.

  • Touring: Panoramic sunroof.


In short, if you want a sunroof on a Forester, aim for Premium or higher; for the larger panoramic sunroof, choose Limited or Touring.


Notes on year-to-year changes


Subaru occasionally updates features and equipment packages between model years. Availability of a sunroof (and whether it is a standard feature or part of a package) can shift with redesigns or regional packages. Always confirm the exact sunroof configuration for the specific model year you’re considering.


Summary


The Forester’s base model does not include a sunroof, while mid- to higher-trim models offer one, with the panoramic version typically found on Limited and Touring. For buyers who want the widest glass roof, target Limited or Touring, and verify the year’s exact configuration with the dealer.
