2023 Hyundai Verna Won’t Get A Sunroof: Hyundai

Currently, no C-segment sedan in the market offers a panoramic sunroof and sedans are rarely seen offering the large glass panes. However, a panoramic sunroof has become a highly aspirational feature and many SUVs offer panoramic sunroof around the price range of the Verna 2023. Hyundai’s best selling SUV — the Hyundai Creta also offers a panoramic sunroof at a similar price bracket of that of the new Verna. Hence, prospective buyers can always cross shop to have the panoramic sunroof in this price range but they will have to compromise on the sedan body style.

Here’s Why We Think The Verna 2023 Lacks A Panoramic Sunroof

Sedans typically do not get a panoramic sunroof because they compromise headroom for passengers. Since sedans do not have the tall height of SUVs, the engineers need to efficiently manage the space on the inside. The Verna 2023 gets a regular-sized electric sunroof and thus, it offers adequate headroom for both front and rear passengers.

Adding a panoramic sunroof would require a larger area and also space to incorporate a larger rolling sunshade, which usually resides at the rear end of the vehicle’s roof. Adding a panoramic sunroof in the new Verna would either require a reduction in headroom for or an increased height. The former would make the cabin of the new Verna uncomfortable for tall passengers while the latter would not suit the sleek stance that sedans are known for.

Hence, Hyundai settled for a regular-sized sunroof, which serves the aspirations of most car buyers in India. Furthermore, no sedan in the C2-segment currently offers the option of a panoramic sunroof. However, a few premium offerings, such as the BMW 3 Series, do offer a panoramic sunroof. But they cost upwards of Rs. 50 lakh (ex-showroom).
