The Gold Standard for Ring Road Comfort & South Coast Exploration

If your Icelandic dream involves tracing the waterfalls of the South Coast, exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, or completing the full Ring Road in luxury, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is your perfect match. Combining the space of a full-size SUV with the efficiency of a self-charging hybrid, it offers a smooth, whisper-quiet ride that is ideal for families and larger groups.

While it is 4WD-equipped and permitted on well-maintained gravel and select F-roads, the Highlander is designed first and foremost for superior on-road comfort and premium sightseeing.

Perfect for the South Coast & Iconic Sightseeing

The Highlander is engineered to make Iceland's most famous routes feel effortless:

  • South Coast Specialist: The elevated driving position is perfect for spotting Skógafoss or the black sands of Reynisfjara from a distance, while the stable chassis handles the coastal winds with ease.
  • Efficient Hybrid Power: Save on fuel costs during long-distance drives. The hybrid system captures energy during braking—perfect for the undulating hills of the Eastfjords—and delivers an impressive average of 6.5L-8.6L / 100km.
  • All-Weather Confidence: With intelligent AWD-i, you have the traction needed for slippery coastal roads in the rain or unexpected gravel patches on the way to a hidden lighthouse.

Interior & Tech: A First-Class Cabin

The Highlander's interior is one of the most spacious in Iceland, making it a favorite for those who value personal space and modern tech:

  • 7-Seat Versatility: Ideal for five adults with heavy luggage, or up to 7 passengers for day trips.
  • The "5"Suitcase" trunk: When the 3rd row is folded flat, the trunk opens up to a massive 865 Liters—comfortably fitting five large suitcases plus smaller daypacks.
  • Premium Tech Suite: Stay connected with a large touchscreen featuring Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.
  • Tri-Zone Climate Control: Keeps everyone comfortable, whether they're in the front or the back.

Summary

  • Efficient Hybrid Drive: Powerful yet eco-friendly performance with significant fuel savings.
  • Flexible 7-Passenger Cabin: Ideal for 5 adults with plenty of gear, or up to 7 for shorter trips.
  • Massive 5-Seat Cargo: Folding the 3rd row opens up space for 5 large suitcases.
  • Intelligent AWD System: Provides stability and confidence on gravel roads and during winter.
  • Toyota Safety Sense: Includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring.
  • F-Road Approved: Legally permitted for "dry" Highland roads (like F35) during the summer season.
  • Winter Optimized: Equipped with premium studded tires (Nov–April) for maximum grip on ice.
  • Smartphone Connected: Seamless integration with your favorite navigation and music apps.

New 2026 Road Tax & Reduced Fuel Prices
