Panoramic roof yes/no?

Mrjon · May 9th, 2017, 18:53

It's another of those usual spec options questions I'm afraid.
I'm speccing up a V90CC to order shortly but I'm a little undecided on the panoramic roof. I've never been particularly bothered about sunroofs, my thinking is that as the driver it's behind your peripheral vision anyway so wouldn't really notice it. I seem to remember reading here somewhere that someone said the blind wasn't that good in bright sun so may be bit of a pain with the sun beating down on my bald head! Might be good for the kids in the back though.
I'm just interested in peoples experience with the panoramic roof in the V90, wouldn't be without it or waste of time?
I estimate the cost to be around £20 extra/month on a PCP. That's against buying the 360 camera and front park assist separately , which I want, or buying the xenium pack, which will be £975 more and include the sunroof.
Many thanks

Only got my car in December but, it's good. The blind seems fine. The kids are always on iPads etc and they haven't complained.

Mine was part of the Xenium pack.

Ultimately it's a personal choice, but I love having it. Part of my reasoning was to lighten the interior as I've got the charcoal headlining. I find the blind stays open most of the time as the tint on the glass is enough. Just occasionally the kids want it closed due to too much sunlight.

I have had my XC90 with the Xenium pack and I think the panoramic sunroof is a really good extra. It is also easier to keep the roof cleaner as glass doesn't mark as paint does with bird lime.

If you were asking for an XC90 I would say, yes, yes, yes.
