Where can you drive with the Hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander in Iceland?
The Hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander is a practical and comfortable SUV, perfect for exploring Iceland’s main routes in style. Its plug-in hybrid system helps reduce fuel costs while providing smooth performance for long drives. The Outlander is especially well-suited for the Ring Road, which circles the entire country and connects must-see highlights like waterfalls, glaciers, lava fields, and fishing towns. From the Golden Circle to the South Coast and all the way to North Iceland, this SUV ensures you can travel efficiently and comfortably with plenty of space for passengers and luggage.
It’s important to note that the Mitsubishi Outlander is not permitted on Iceland’s F-roads, which are rugged mountain tracks leading into the highlands. Instead, this car is best for travelers who plan to stick to paved and gravel roads, visiting popular regions such as Snæfellsnes Peninsula, the Eastfjords, or the South Coast’s black sand beaches. With its reliable handling and eco-friendly design, the Outlander is a great choice for those who want to experience Iceland’s diverse landscapes while keeping their journey on the main routes.
Please note: This 4×4 car is NOT allowed on the F roads and highlands due to its battery position. But you can drive it on the Kjölur and Kaldidalur (Roads 35 & 550).
Important Reminder: Off-road driving is illegal in Iceland. Driving off-road on lava fields, moss, beaches, or unmarked land will result in heavy fines.
Heads-up: Reservations are made by car category. Specific models are not guaranteed.
What are the benefits of renting a hybrid car?
The hybrid Mitshubishi Outlander merges the best of both worlds by combining a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor, allowing for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. This hybrid system provides the flexibility to drive on electric-only power for short city trips, or to utilize the combined power of both engines for longer journeys, maximizing efficiency and range.
- Lower Emissions: Drive with a smaller carbon footprint by utilizing the electric-only mode for short distances, significantly reducing emissions compared to conventional vehicles.
- Fuel Efficiency: Save on fuel costs with the hybrid system, which optimizes fuel use by switching between electric and gasoline power based on driving conditions.
- Quiet and Smooth Driving: Enjoy a quiet and smooth driving experience, particularly in urban settings where the electric motor operates silently at low speeds.
- Advanced Technology: Features like regenerative braking help recharge the battery during deceleration, extending your electric driving range and enhancing overall efficiency.
Please note: The charging cable is NOT included in the rental. It must be rented separately with the booking. You can add the charging cable during the booking process.
