Default 2018 S5 SB Prestige sunroof compared to 2017 A4 Prestige sunroof

The 2017 A4 Prestige describes the sunroof as:
"Sunroof with sunshade, power tilt and slide features"

The 2018 S5 SB Prestige sunroof is described as:
"Panoramic sunroof"

I have some questions:
Does the Panoramic Sunroof have the sunshade, power tilt, and slide features?
Are they the same sunroof?
If they are not the same, what are the differences?

Thanks All!

I'd like to know this answer. It never occurred to me that a $70K car wouldn't have a screen. My SQ5 had power screen, and I assume my S5 will as as well.

The panoramic sunroof will tilt and slide similar to a normal sunroof but it has a thin fabric shade that rolls up and blocks only some sunlight while the normal sunroof has a thicker, sturdy shade that slides back and forth and blocks all sunlight.

S5 Sportback has the sunshade, slide and tilt features. Nothing to worry about

And that shade is power operated separate from the glass portion of the roof.

Yep, A4 has a manually moveable panel that slides back and forth - some small vents in the front part of it. Can be closed if roof is opened or closed.

The A5 has the larger panoramic, and the sunshade is powered (button is right behind roof button on roof console). It also can be closed when the roof is opened, but is a breathable fabric - sort of a dense mesh.

Thanks all!

And especially N8!, the video showed me that I will like this sunroof better than the A4.
