Top 10 affordable cars with sunroof Philippines to buy in 2021

Not all manufacturers install a sunroof as it will increase the production cost of a vehicle since it will be installed with a glass pane and actuators. 

However, due to the advancement of the automotive industry, car manufacturers have come up with different ways to keep their vehicles relatively affordable despite installing a sunroof.

There are many reasons why you should get cars with sunroof. Perhaps the most common reason is that a sunroof can provide better ventilation in your car, letting natural air come in your car. Another reason is that a sunroof can provide aesthetics whether in the morning or night where you can watch the stars.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the vehicles with panoramic sunroof available in the local market. We have not included luxurious cars with relatively high price tags since a sunroof feature is generally a given already for them.

Geely Azkarra (Php 1,438,000 – Php 1,598,000)

When the Geely Azkarra came into the local automotive market in 2020, Filipino car buyers were surprised by its loaded features. One of which includes a panoramic sunroof feature. This feature helps the premium looking interior of the Azkarra to look even more sophisticated.
