  • The sunroof openings are joined to form a single, wide opening (720 mm (28.35 in) long and 600 mm (23.62 in) wide), aiming to improve the "open and free" feeling to a great extent.
  • A motor with a built-in microprocessor is used for the sunroof motor, which provides one-touch automatic opening and closing functions with a jamming prevention feature. (The system operates in auto mode when the switch is pushed.)
  • The frame, glass lid and mechanism parts are refined to reduce considerable amount of weight.
  • The contour and tilt-up angle of the front glass lid are refined to enhance the effect as a deflector and reduce the wind blowing into the cabin when the sunroof is open. Also, the edge shape of the front glass lid is optimized to minimize unpleasant wind shearing noise.
