Which RAV4 model has a sunroof?
Short answer: A sunroof is not universal across the RAV4 lineup. In recent model years, sunroofs (power moonroof or panoramic) are typically available on mid-to-high trims or via optional packages, rather than on base L/LE models. For the exact year and trim you’re considering, check the official spec sheet or the window sticker.
Beyond the short answer, this article explains which trims commonly offer a sunroof, how the option is packaged, and how to verify availability for a specific year or market.
Sunroof availability by trim (recent model years)
The following overview reflects common configurations in US-spec RAV4 models from recent years. Availability can vary by year and region.
- L — Generally not equipped with a sunroof; if present in some markets, it is typically an optional add-on rather than a standard feature.
- LE — Typically does not come with a sunroof as standard; may be offered as an option in certain years or markets.
- XLE — Often offers a power moonroof as part of a higher-trim configuration or optional package.
- XLE Premium — Commonly includes a sunroof (power moonroof or panoramic) as standard in many years.
- Adventure — Frequently ships with a larger sunroof or panoramic sunroof as an option or standard on some configurations.
- TRD Off-Road — Sunroof availability varies; may require an optional package or be included on certain model-year configurations.
- Limited — Typically includes a sunroof as standard in many generations, with the panoramic variant appearing on higher-spec configurations.
- Hybrid variants (LE Hybrid, XLE Hybrid, XLE Premium Hybrid, etc.) — Sunroof availability depends on trim and packages; higher trims commonly include it.
Note: The sunroof type (standard moonroof vs. panoramic) and exact availability can vary by year and market. Always check the specific year’s Toyota brochure or window sticker to confirm.
How to verify sunroof availability for a specific year
To ensure you get the right configuration, do the following when shopping for a RAV4:
- Look up the official spec sheet for the exact model year and trim on Toyota’s website or in the dealer’s brochure.
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) for the vehicle you’re considering, which lists standard and optional equipment, including sunroofs.
- Ask the dealer to confirm whether the sunroof is included and what type it is (moonroof or panoramic) and whether it’s standard or optional.
- For used vehicles, review the Vehicle History Report or photos to verify the sunroof presence and operation.
With this approach, you can determine which RAV4 model for a given year actually includes a sunroof and what type it uses.
Summary
The sunroof in the RAV4 lineup is not universal but is commonly found on mid-to-high trims and certain limited editions, with variations by year and market. If a sunroof is important, target trims like XLE Premium and above, or verify directly with the dealer for the exact model year you’re considering. Always check the window sticker or official Toyota spec sheets for definitive confirmation.
