Is the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent a Good Rental Car for Iceland?
The Kuga is designed for a trip that includes F-road driving, not just a summer drive around the Ring Road.
- It's an automatic 4x4. If you're planning Highland roads but don't drive a manual, that immediately narrows your choices.
- The James Baroud roof tent sleeps two. Its sleeping area measures 125 × 210 cm, so this is a two-person camping setup even though the Kuga itself seats five.
- There's space for five bags. For two people, the extra luggage capacity is helpful once hiking gear and camping equipment are added.
- The Kuga is a 2023–2024 model. If you're comparing several roof-tent vehicles in Ring Rental's fleet, the model year is another detail you can factor into the decision.
When to Choose the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent
Summer: If you're planning several days in the Highlands, the Kuga lets you camp along the way without giving up F-road access. It also gives you an automatic transmission, which narrows the field if you don't want to drive a manual.
Winter: The roof-tent version isn't the Kuga we'd choose for a winter trip. If you want a 4x4, compare Ring Rental's standard SUV options and plan on indoor accommodation instead.
Shoulder season (spring and autumn): Highland roads may still be closed in spring and can close again as conditions deteriorate in autumn. If they're part of your itinerary, check road.is as your dates approach and again on the morning you plan to drive.
Driving the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent on Iceland's Roads
If Landmannalaugar is on your itinerary, look at the route you plan to take before choosing your vehicle. F208 reaches the area, but there are different approaches, and the road conditions aren't the same on all of them.
The Kuga is permitted on F-roads except F-249, so you have access to roads that aren't open to Ring Rental's 2WD vehicles. That permission applies to the vehicle, though, not every possible route or condition you might encounter in the Highlands.
Not the Right Car If…
- You're staying on the Ring Road and sleeping indoors. You don't need a roof tent or F-road access for that trip, so a different vehicle could save you money.
- More than two people need somewhere to sleep. The Kuga has five seats, but the James Baroud tent sleeps two. The Maxus T-60 + iKamper sleeps up to four.
- You'd rather sleep inside the vehicle. A roof tent isn't a smaller version of a motorhome. Ring Rental's Forster vans give you enclosed sleeping and living space instead.
- Your itinerary depends on river crossings. F-road permission doesn't mean every Highland route is suitable for the Kuga.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I drive the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent on F-roads?
-
Yes. The Ford Kuga with Roof Tent can go on F-roads except F-249. Before heading into the Highlands, check the road you plan to take. A road can be open to 4x4s and still be a bad idea depending on the conditions.
- How many people can sleep in the Ford Kuga roof tent?
-
Two. The James Baroud roof tent has a sleeping area of 125 × 210 cm. Although the Kuga itself has five seats, the roof tent is designed for two sleepers. If three or four people need somewhere to sleep, compare it with the Maxus T-60 instead.
- How much luggage fits in the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent?
-
Five bags. With only two people sleeping in the roof tent, that leaves a good amount of luggage space for a longer trip. Remember that camping usually adds hiking gear, extra layers, food, and other items you wouldn't necessarily carry on a hotel-based trip.
- Is the Ford Kuga with Roof Tent a good choice for Landmannalaugar?
-
The Kuga is permitted on F-roads, so Landmannalaugar can be part of your plans. There are different approaches into the area, and conditions aren't identical on each one. Look at the exact route you intend to drive before you leave rather than relying on the Kuga's 4x4 designation alone.
If the Highlands are one of the main reasons you're coming to Iceland, the Kuga with Roof Tent lets you build your camping trip around that plan. For a simpler two-person camping trip, compare it with the Dacia Duster or Jeep Renegade with Roof Tent.
