solarbay® panoramic glass roof
Renault Rafale
The solarbay® darkening panoramic glass roof in Renault Rafale measures 1 m² and darkens and lightens on demand. Vary the light levels and adjust for thermal comfort using a button on the overhead console or voice command through Google Assistant¹. It darkens fully when the vehicle is locked to keep your interior at the optimal temperature. When you return it automatically reverts to its previous setting.
how does solarbay® work?
4 darkening settings
All light, all dark, dimmed only at the rear, or dimmed only at the front. To control solarbay® with Google Assistant¹, say “Hey Google, open/close solarbay” or “Hey Google, open/close solarbay at the front/rear”. Even when the roof is darkened, you can still enjoy natural light.
