Not available on the base, Select, or Preferred.
It is a panoramic moonroof, not a standard single-panel sunroof. Here is exactly which trims include it and what else comes in the package.
Which Trims Include the Panoramic Moonroof?
The panoramic moonroof is included on two trims only. It is not available as a standalone option on lower trims — to get the moonroof, you need the Premium package or above.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Panoramic Moonroof | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 S | $29,990 | No | Base trim — solid roof only |
| 2.5 S Select | $31,990 | No | Solid roof — moonroof not available as add-on |
| 2.5 S Preferred | $34,250 | No | Leather seating added but no moonroof |
| 2.5 S Premium | $36,900 | Yes — Panoramic Moonroof | Entry point for the sunroof; adds Bose, 360 cam, ventilated seats |
| 2.5 S Premium Plus | $38,990 | Yes — Panoramic Moonroof | Top trim; adds 15.6" screen, head-up display, NAPPA leather |
All MSRP figures are base prices before the $1,530 destination and handling charge. Confirm current pricing with your dealer.
What You Actually Get on the Premium and Premium Plus
Mazda calls this a panoramic moonroof, which means a larger glass opening than a standard single-panel sunroof. The setup includes a front tilt/slide glass panel that opens for fresh air and a fixed rear glass panel behind it, with a single power-operated interior shade that covers both panels.
The result is a noticeably brighter cabin, particularly for rear passengers who are usually stuck under solid metal on lower trims. On a clear Triangle morning in spring or fall, it makes a noticeable difference.
- Power tilt and slide front panel — opens fully for ventilation
- Fixed rear glass panel — additional light for rear-seat passengers
- Power retractable interior shade — blocks sun when needed
- UV-filtering glass — reduces cabin heat even when closed
- Rain-sensing close function — shuts automatically if rain detected

CX-5 Sunroof FAQ
Does the 2026 Mazda CX-5 have a sunroof?
Yes. The 2026 CX-5 is available with a panoramic moonroof on the 2.5 S Premium (from $36,900) and 2.5 S Premium Plus (from $38,990). The three lower trims — 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, and 2.5 S Preferred — do not include a sunroof or moonroof option.
Which 2026 CX-5 trims have a sunroof?
The panoramic moonroof is included on the 2.5 S Premium and the 2.5 S Premium Plus only. It is not available as a standalone add-on for the 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, or 2.5 S Preferred trims.
What kind of sunroof does the 2026 Mazda CX-5 have?
Mazda calls it a panoramic moonroof. It has a power tilt/slide front glass panel and a fixed rear glass panel, covered by a single power retractable interior shade. It spans more of the roof than a traditional single-panel sunroof, giving both front and rear passengers more natural light.
Can I add a sunroof to a lower CX-5 trim?
No. On the all-new 2026 CX-5, the panoramic moonroof is not available as a standalone option on the 2.5 S, Select, or Preferred. The 2.5 S Premium ($36,900) is the entry point if a moonroof matters to you.
How much more does the moonroof trim cost compared to the base?
The 2.5 S base starts at $29,990. The 2.5 S Premium with the moonroof starts at $36,900 — roughly $6,910 more before destination. That price difference also includes Bose audio, ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, and other features, not just the moonroof.
Is the panoramic moonroof worth getting in Durham, NC?
Durham averages around 213 sunny days a year, which is well above the national average of 205. The panoramic roof gets regular use through spring and fall when Triangle weather is at its best. Whether the full Premium trim is worth the price jump depends on how much you value the entire package beyond just the roof.
