Recently, electronically driven was only offered on high-end luxury cars. The top-end models of several relatively inexpensive cars also received this function, albeit mass-market manufacturers did so as a result of increased competition. While single-pane electric sunroofs are becoming more widespread, dual-pane panoramic sunroofs are still largely seen on premium automobiles and SUVs, with only a few mass-market choices.

Unsurprisingly, all of the top 5 most affordable vehicles in India that are available with a panoramic sunroof are SUVs. See the list below.

Without a sunroof, the Tata Harrier was originally presented to the public in the nation in January 2019. Later that year, in response to customer demand, Tata unveiled a single-pane sunroof as an approved add-on for the Harrier. After being launched with the facelifted model, the mid-size SUV ultimately received a company-installed panoramic sunroof in 2020.

The Tata Harrier grade with the cheapest panoramic sunroof is the XT+ model. It presently costs Rs 17.94 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV’s top-tier models also come equipped with an 8.8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, and automated headlights, cruise control, 17-inch alloy wheels, auto temperature control, etc.
