Does the Fit have a panoramic sunroof version?

According to the model specifications of GAC Honda, none of the GAC Honda Fit models come with a panoramic sunroof. Only some high-end models feature a single sunroof, while mid-range and low-end models do not have a sunroof. The functions of a panoramic sunroof: The role of a panoramic sunroof goes far beyond being just a decorative feature. It can be opened to enhance air circulation and increase oxygen levels inside the vehicle. When a car is left unused for an extended period, the interior lacks fresh air. Opening the side windows alone is not efficient for quick ventilation. By opening the sunroof, the air inside the car can circulate rapidly, completing a full air exchange in just a matter of seconds. The second function is to improve lighting and illumination. A panoramic sunroof provides better visibility and natural light. Opening the sunshade makes the interior feel more spacious and bright, reducing the sense of confinement. This is particularly enjoyable during road trips, as opening the panoramic sunroof can enhance the driving experience. The final function of a panoramic sunroof is rapid cooling. During hot summer days, turning on the air conditioner alone may not be sufficient for quick cooling. Drivers can first open the panoramic sunroof to allow fresh air to enter and lower the interior temperature before turning on the air conditioner. Combining the use of the air conditioner and the panoramic sunroof can significantly reduce the interior temperature in a short time.
I remember driving my friend's Fit, and it indeed has a panoramic sunroof version available. Mine is the hybrid model bought in 2022, which came with this large sunroof, making the interior exceptionally bright with ample light. At the time of choosing the car, it was commonly seen in higher trim levels, like the EX version in the U.S. or the RS version in Japan, both offering this option. However, it's not a standard feature; you have to pay extra for it, otherwise, the base model doesn't include it. Maintenance-wise, you need to be careful as panoramic sunroofs are prone to dust accumulation and leaks, so regular cleaning is essential. Overall, if you enjoy an open driving experience, the Fit's panoramic sunroof version is definitely worth considering, but make sure to confirm the model year and regional specifications before making a purchase.
