(source: just-auto).
Roof systems are becoming part of a car' s identity, and an increasing number
of automakers are offering models featuring large glass roofs. One benefit is
the sense of openness and freedom, and the selection on offer nowadays is
varied, ranging from the closed panoramic glass roof (Peugeot 307 SW, 407 SW,
and Citroen C4) and so-called twin panels, to multi-panels (Renault Espace IV)
and the lamella sunroof (Fiat Stilo).
The car industry has discovered that the roof is an area where it can make
money, and manufacturers report an "unbelievable" amount of interest in large
sunroofs. The trend towards glass roof systems, with big openings that can be
adjusted even during driving, gives the best of both worlds: saving on cost
(compared to a convertible) and adding more versatility to the car.
Our fourth edition of the just-auto vehicle roof systems report investigates
the trends in roof systems, and provides an overview of the markets, main
players and the latest technical innovations.
