Which Toyota Prius has a sunroof?
In today’s lineup, sunroofs are typically available on mid-to-high trims of the Prius, such as the Liftback’s XLE/Limited and the Prius Prime’s XLE Premium; base models usually do not include a sunroof.
Overview: sunroof availability across the Prius family
The Toyota Prius family includes several distinct models: the standard Prius Liftback, the Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid), the Prius c (compact hatchback), and the Prius v (wagon). Sunroof availability varies by model year and trim level, and can also differ by market. In practice, a glass sunroof is more commonly found on mid-to-high trims rather than the base configurations.
Here's a quick guide to which Prius variants typically offer a sunroof. (Note: always verify with the specific model year and market configuration, as features can change.)
- Prius Liftback (the standard Prius): A power tilt/slide glass sunroof is commonly included on mid-to-high trims in many model years, with base trims more often not including it. Availability can vary by year and market.
- Prius Prime (plug-in hybrid): A glass sunroof is commonly offered on higher trims such as XLE Premium (and related top-tier versions in some years). Lower trims may omit it depending on the configuration.
- Prius c (compact): Sunroofs are less common; when offered, they appear on higher trims or as part of specific packages in certain years and markets. Always verify for the exact year.
- Prius v (wagon): Similar to the Liftback, sunroofs tend to appear on higher trims or specific packages rather than the base configurations, and availability varies by year and market.
In short, if a sunroof is a priority, target mid-to-high trims on the Liftback or the Prime, and double-check the exact year and market configuration. Lower-trim models and some markets may not offer a sunroof at all.
How to verify for a specific vehicle
To confirm sunroof availability for a particular Prius you’re considering, use these steps:
1) Check the window sticker (Monroney label) or the official configuration page for the exact model year and trim, which lists standard and optional features.
2) Review the dealer’s build sheet or the Toyota official online configurator for the exact trim and packages installed on that vehicle.
3) Look at photos of the specific car or request a feature checklist from the seller to confirm whether a sunroof is present.
4) If buying used, obtain the VIN and use it to pull the vehicle’s feature history from a reliable source or contact Toyota support for confirmation of included options.
What to consider when shopping
Sunroofs can affect price and resale value. They may add weight, impact headroom in some configurations, and have maintenance considerations (seal condition, potential leaks, and wind noise). If a sunroof is important, confirm whether it’s a standard feature or a dealer-installed add-on for the specific trim and year you’re considering.
Summary
Sunroofs in the Toyota Prius lineup are most commonly found on mid-to-high trims, particularly the Prius Liftback’s XLE/Limited and the Prius Prime’s higher trims. The Prius c and Prius v offer sunroofs far less consistently and usually only on certain years or packages. Always verify the exact configuration for the model year and market you’re looking at, using the window sticker or official Toyota configurator, to ensure the vehicle has the sunroof you want.
