Which Toyota Camrys have sunroofs?

Sunroofs in Toyota Camrys are not universal. In the current generation, a power tilt/slide sunroof appears on higher trims or via certain option packages, and the exact availability varies by year and market. Here's how it breaks down and how to verify for a specific model.


Current generation overview (2018–present)


The seventh-generation Camry offers more upscale features, and sunroof availability is driven by trim level and optional packages rather than being uniform across all Camrys. The XLE and XSE trims are most likely to offer a sunroof, while base trims often require selecting a sunroof option or package. The TRD trim generally does not include a sunroof, reflecting its performance focus. Hybrid versions follow the same pattern as their gasoline counterparts.


Sunroof availability by trim in recent years


What to expect in the current generation by trim and package:



  • XLE and XSE: typically include a power tilt/slide sunroof or offer it as part of the Premium/Technology packages.

  • LE and SE: sunroof may be optional via the Moonroof option or a higher-level package.

  • Hybrid Camrys: align with gasoline trims for sunroof availability—usually present on higher trims or via packages.

  • TRD: usually no sunroof, though year-to-year variations can occur.


To confirm sunroof presence on a specific car, consult the official brochure or the build tool for the exact year, trim, and market, as configurations can change.


How to confirm sunroof on a specific Camry


Use these steps to verify sunroof availability for a particular model year, trim, or vehicle you’re considering:



  • Check the official Toyota brochure or online configuration tool for the year you’re interested in; search for "Moonroof" or "Power Moonroof" in the features list.

  • Review the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney label) on new cars or the dealer listing for used models to see whether a sunroof is included.

  • Ask the dealer to print the exact equipment list or build sheet to confirm the sunroof option.

  • Inspect listing photos or request interior shots that show the sunroof controls and glass.


In markets outside the U.S. or for special editions, sunroof availability may differ. Always verify with official sources for precision.


Why sunroofs matter for Camrys


Beyond aesthetics, a sunroof can impact the cabin ambiance, perceived resale value, and potential maintenance considerations. If you value natural light and ventilation, a sunroof on higher trims can be a meaningful upgrade; if you prioritize roof rigidity or budget, you may opt for a model without one.


Summary


Sunroofs on Toyota Camry are not universal but are commonly found on higher trims (notably XLE and XSE) or via optional packages in recent years. If a sunroof is a priority, verify the exact configuration for the model year and trim you’re considering by consulting Toyota’s official configuration tools or the vehicle’s build sheet.

Which Camry to stay away from?


You should stay away from the 2007–2014 Toyota Camry, particularly the 2007–2011 models with the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine due to oil consumption issues, and the 2012–2014 models that had transmission and AC problems. The 2018–2019 models also had reports of transmission issues with their 8-speed automatics.
 
Specific model years to avoid and why

  • 2007–2011: These models, especially those with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, are prone to excessive oil consumption due to a design flaw in the piston rings. This can lead to serious engine damage, like rod knock, if not maintained meticulously. 
  • 2012–2014: These years experienced recurring problems with the automatic transmission, including slipping and torque converter issues. Owners also reported a musty smell from the AC system due to mold growth, and other issues with the AC compressor or heating. 
  • 2018–2019: Some of these models had problems with the 8-speed automatic transmission, leading to funky shifting. 

What to consider instead
If you're looking for a reliable used Camry, focus on other model years like 2005–2006, 2015, or 2016–2017 models. You may also consider models from 2010 onwards, which had more reliable engines and safety features like standard stability control.

Which Toyota Camry comes with a sunroof?


A typical moonroof is optional on LE, SE, LE Hybrid, SE Hybrid and XLE Hybrid models. But Toyota also offers a panoramic glass roof with a power tilt/slide moonroof. This upgrade to the traditional Toyota moonroof comes standard on the Camry XLE V6 and XSE V6, and is optional on XLE and XSE models.



What is the difference between Camry XLE and SE?


The main difference is that the Camry SE is a sportier trim, while the XLE is a more luxurious and comfort-focused trim. The SE features a sport-tuned suspension, more aggressive exterior styling, and interior elements like sport pedals, while the XLE has a softer ride, more premium interior materials like leather and heated seats, and enhanced features like a larger digital gauge cluster and an available panoramic roof.
 
SE (Sport Edition)

  • Suspension: Sport-tuned for a firmer, more dynamic ride. 
  • Exterior: Aggressive styling with a sport mesh grille, color-keyed rear spoiler, and often black sport mesh wheels. 
  • Interior: Upholstery is typically cloth or SofTex, often with aluminum sport pedals and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. 
  • Features: Offers a good balance of sporty performance and standard features, with some luxury items like heated seats potentially available as part of a package. 

XLE (Executive Luxury Edition)
  • Suspension: Softer and tuned for a more refined, quiet, and comfortable ride. 
  • Exterior: More elegant styling with features like a dark metallic gray horizontal bar grille. It may have acoustic glass for a quieter cabin. 
  • Interior: Focuses on luxury, with standard features including leather and microfiber-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and an upscale dash. 
  • Features: Includes more premium and advanced features as standard, such as a larger 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, power adjustments for both front seats, and rain-sensing wipers. An optional panoramic roof is also available.
