Moonroof vs. Sunroof: What's the Difference?
Sunroof, moonroof – these terms are used so interchangeably that not everyone knows the difference. Whether you’re looking for a new Nissan model that will provide optimal sun-soaking opportunities or want to enjoy the wind through your hair, Gunn Nissan is here to tell you the difference between a moonroof vs. a sunroof.
What's the Difference Between a Moonroof and Sunroof
A sunroof is made of glass or metal installed in the roof of a car, truck, or SUV. It slides open or pops up for more light and air to flow into the cabin. A moonroof is a clear or tinted glass that slides between the roof and headliner, and it’s often tilted for fresh air. Either way, both can offer a breath of fresh air and give your vehicle’s interior a more spacious feel on those long drives.
