Which pilot model has a panoramic sunroof?

The panoramic sunroof is available on higher-trim Honda Pilot models, particularly the Elite and Touring; EX-L availability varies by year.


In practice, the Pilot’s panoramic sunroof is not a standard feature across the entire lineup. It tends to appear on the more premium trims and can depend on model year, market, and whether it’s bundled with other options. Here is a breakdown of how it’s typically offered and how to verify for a specific vehicle.


Availability by trim


This list summarizes which trims have historically offered a panoramic sunroof, noting that year-to-year changes and regional differences can apply.



  • Honda Pilot Elite — commonly comes with a panoramic sunroof as standard equipment in many recent model years.

  • Honda Pilot Touring — often offers a panoramic sunroof, either as standard or as part of a package, depending on the year and market.

  • Honda Pilot EX-L — availability varies by model year; some versions have offered a panoramic sunroof as part of a higher-level package or option, while others do not.


When shopping, expect the panoramic sunroof to be tied to higher-trim configurations, and confirm for the exact year and market you’re considering.


How to verify for a specific vehicle


To ensure you’re getting a Pilot with a panoramic sunroof, check these details before purchase.



  • Window sticker (Monroney label) or official brochure for the exact trim and year—look for “Panoramic Sunroof” or “Panoramic Moonroof.”

  • Vehicle listing or Honda’s official site for the model year and trim you’re interested in, noting any optional packages.

  • Ask the dealer to confirm via the vehicle’s VIN, which options are installed and whether a panoramic sunroof is included.


If you’re buying used, request the service history or a pre-purchase inspection that can verify the presence of the panoramic sunroof.


Summary


In short, the Honda Pilot’s panoramic sunroof is a feature more commonly found on the Elite and Touring trims, with EX-L’s inclusion depending on the year and region. Always verify the exact model year and listed options with the dealer or on Honda’s official materials for certainty.
