BMW X1 or similar

The BMW X1 is an ideal travel companion for anyone seeking a touch of luxury along Iceland's picturesque roadways. The X1 is a great choice for touring Reykjavík's vibrant streets and the breathtaking Golden Circle due to its sleek design and ease of use. This entry-level SUV in BMW's X series combines comfort, style, and utility, making every journey seem unique.

Storage Capacity

The BMW X1 is ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends who want to go on a road trip together. The trunk can hold up to four medium or large suitcases, and if you're preparing for a longer trip, simply fold down the back seats to increase cargo capacity. Whether you're traveling to the calm Blue Lagoon or preparing for a spectacular journey along the South Coast, the X1 offers enough space for all of your requirements.

Performance and Features

The BMW X1 is driven by its powerful 2.0L engine and an automatic transmission, providing smooth, dependable performance on Iceland's varied roads. It is also extremely fuel efficient, averaging 4.7L/100KM, making it ideal for long drives to iconic destinations such as Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The X1 has a user-friendly infotainment system with a touchscreen display, BMW's iDrive interface, and Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to sync your phone for quick access to navigation and playlists.

The BMW X1 is a 4x4 car that is permitted on F-roads, making it ideal for more adventurous journeys across Iceland. However, on highland roads with harsher terrain and river crossings, we recommend a more durable vehicle. The minimum age for driving the BMW X1 is 23 years old.
