Creta to XUV 300: SUVs with panoramic sunroof priced under ₹20 lakh

Mahindra has recently launched the XUV 3XO which is the smallest SUV in India to come with a panoramic sunroof.

Be it a bragging right or a feature to help let the elements in, panoramic sunroof is among one of the key features car buyers prefer in their vehicle these days. Several carmakers have revealed how buyers’ preferences have left them with no choice but to add a glass roof on top of cars to lure more customers. It used to be a feature available only in high-end or premium segment models. But things have changed as carmakers are now offering models with panoramic sunroof for less than ₹10 lakh too. Here is a quick look at some of the cars with panoramic sunroof that are not priced above ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
