Which Lexus has a sunroof?
Most Lexus models offer a sunroof or panoramic sunroof, either as standard equipment or as an option depending on the trim. The LC coupe is an exception, since it uses a fixed glass roof rather than an operable sunroof. Availability can vary by model year and trim, so always double‑check the exact configuration for the vehicle you’re considering.
In this guide we explain the terminology (moonroof vs. panoramic roof) and provide a practical snapshot of sunroof availability across the current Lexus lineup. We also share tips on how to verify features before you buy.
Overview: sunroof options across the Lexus lineup
The following quick reference summarizes sunroof availability across the current Lexus lineup, noting standard vs. optional configurations and the naming Lexus uses for the features.
- IS (compact sport sedan): A power moonroof is typically available on most trims; the base model may not include it, depending on year and package.
- ES (midsize sedan): A power moonroof is commonly found on most trims, and is often standard on mid/high trims.

How to confirm sunroof on a specific Lexus
Check the window sticker and trim details
When shopping, review the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney label) for terms like "Moonroof" or "Panoramic Moonroof." If you’re shopping online, look for fields labeled "Sunroof" or "Moonroof" within the vehicle’s feature list, and confirm whether it’s standard or optional on that trim.
Ask the dealer and consult the owner’s manual
If you’re unsure, ask the dealer to confirm sunroof availability for the exact year and trim. The owner’s manual for the vehicle will also specify roof features and any operation limitations.
Summary
Across the current Lexus lineup, sunroofs and panoramic roofs are common on many trims, making a moonroof or panoramic roof a typical feature to expect in mid-to-high configurations. The LC stands out as not having an operable sunroof. Always verify the exact feature with the dealer or via the window sticker to ensure you get the roof you want on the specific model and year you’re considering.
