The Auto Industry actively is incorporating value-added features to improve the premium car experience and cabin comfort. With the advent of large fixed glass roofs in the market, the need for solar control and individual comfort control has grown even more necessary.

This feature is starting to gain traction throughout the industry; is a good way to make the cabin feel larger and more spacious for passengers, especially those in the backseat. An example of this market trend if that the glass roof on the Model S sedan is now a standard offer.

The list of premium vehicles now offering something similar is growing rapidly as the trend points at great consumer acceptance for the enhanced cabin experience and openness feel and thus the skylight becomes a sought-after benefit.  Panoramic roof and Cielo windshields are forecast to grow double-digits in the next years as more and more luxury manufacturers and models release their stylish versions to the market.  Vehicles that offer this include the luxury Volvo XC90, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Lexus LC500, BMW M760i among others.
