SunRoof option in PiP ?

Nope, no solar roof option. It adds extra weight and the Plug-in Prius is already heavier from the bigger battery.

 

The roof structure on the non solar non moon roof Gen 3Prius doesn't allow for installation of an aftermarket moon roof. This was a topic during the Gen 3 roll out and we even had drawings from the repair manual. Weight was an issue with the Gen 3 pkg 5 so it didn't get the moon roof. I can't see Toyota using the special framing on a car that doesn't come with the option.

 

This is a baffling omission to me. There's only 2 trim levels for the PiP, and the Advanced does not include this?

I understand design choices, but for some of us, spending that many dollars on a "luxury" car, it's a deal-killer. Starting to lean more towards Prius C which does have moonroof option.

 

That's how introductions are. Some goodies are saved until later, typically with a mid-cycle refresh, sometimes not until the next generation.

I know this is an old post, but I got a Prius Plug-in Advanced with Moon Roof/Sun Roof, so it is possible.

 

Most likely an aftermarket install. To my knowledge, it was never offered from the factory. You'd know because the factory sunroof always came with the solar roof on Gen 3.

 

correct, but it can be done successfully.

 

I'm curious to see pictures of how it looks?

I have always been a big fan of moonroofs (and had one I loved on my 1996 Integra before getting my first Prius in 2006), but unfortunately it has not been an option on the Prii I had (Gen 2 & my current 2014 PiP).

I have seen aftermarket installs which look as good as factory, it is just this nervousness I have about having someone cut into the sheet metal, and risk of leak later on.... Better have deep trust in the installer!

Buying used where it is already done eliminates most of that risk. ;-)
