Sunroofs, to many, are an alluring feature and to some, a status symbol indicating someone ticked off all the bells and whistles on an options list. Initially, sunroofs were more conservative, but now they can span the whole roof of the car and are called panoramic. Arguably, panoramic sunroofs have turned up the desirability level of the sunroof with the public, but you tend to see them more in premium luxury vehicles. With this in mind, consider which premium luxury offerings come with a panoramic sunroof.
Our price point is around the R1.0 million mark, and we'll look at 10 cars.

8. BMW X3
We'd be committing a felony if we didn't mention the BMW X3. At one point, this was the gold standard for the premium luxury SUV and still holds that spot rather nicely. The panoramic sunroof here is optional, but you can obtain it when you opt for the Deluxe package with your X3.

9. Lexus NX
Let's add another hybrid vehicle to the mix. Another criminally underrated vehicle, the Lexus NX, offers another strong interpretation of luxury. The entry-level NX 350h EX omits the panoramic sunroof, but the rest of the NX range has it as standard.
