Hyundai Tucson

The Hyundai Tucson PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV for travellers who want efficiency, comfort, and confident all-wheel drive while exploring Iceland. It blends electric assistance with petrol range, making it a strong fit for everything from Reykjavík city driving to longer trips on the Ring Road and into the Highlands.

Hybrid performance for Iceland

The Tucson PHEV combines a 1.6L turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver smooth, responsive power and improved overall efficiency. This balance is especially useful in Iceland, where long distances between towns and attractions make both range and fuel economy important.

Key features:

• 1.6L turbocharged petrol engine with electric motor
• Plug-in hybrid system that helps reduce fuel consumption
• Automatic transmission for easy, relaxed driving

You benefit from lower fuel costs than many traditional petrol SUVs, without sacrificing the power needed for hills, overtaking, and changing weather conditions.

All-wheel drive confidence on mixed roads

Road conditions in Iceland can shift quickly, from paved highways to gravel stretches and mountain routes. The Tucson PHEV includes all-wheel drive to provide better traction and stability when surfaces change.

Key features:

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson PHEV is allowed on F-roads, making it a suitable option for selected Highland routes. Always check current road conditions before heading out and drive responsibly in remote areas.

Comfort and technology for long journeys

The interior is modern, practical, and supportive for extended road trips. Clear displays and intuitive controls help reduce fatigue on longer drives around Iceland.

Key features:

• Digital driver display and large central touchscreen
• Heated seats and heated steering wheel on selected models
