This all-wheel-drive SUV is equipped with advanced technology, luxurious interiors, and eco-friendly hybrid efficiency—making it ideal for both city drives in Reykjavík and long road trips along Iceland’s scenic routes.

Is the BMW X3 Good for Driving in Iceland?

Absolutely! Iceland’s roads can be unpredictable, with changing weather conditions and varying terrains, but the BMW X3 handles them effortlessly. Here’s why:

  • All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Provides enhanced grip and stability on Iceland’s gravel roads and icy winter conditions.
  • Powerful Hybrid Engine: Combines a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid system with 190 HP, offering the best of both worlds—performance and sustainability.
  • High Ground Clearance: Ensures smoother rides on uneven roads, ideal for exploring Iceland’s rugged landscapes.
  • 5-Seater Interior (1 driver + 4 passengers) – Designed for comfort, with heated front seats.
  • Advanced Safety Features: From blind-spot warning to automatic emergency braking, you’ll have extra peace of mind while driving in Iceland.
  • Long Electric Range (90 km): Enjoy quiet and eco-friendly drives when exploring the city or shorter scenic routes.

Whether you’re driving through the Golden Circle, heading to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, or exploring the Westfjords, the BMW X3 ensures a smooth, safe, and comfortable journey.
