Is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with Roof Tent a Good Rental Car for Iceland?
For two people who want to camp but would rather drive an automatic, the Eclipse Cross gives you AWD and F-road access.
- The James Baroud roof tent sleeps two. The sleeping area is 125 × 210 cm, while the vehicle has space for four bags.
- It's automatic and AWD. If you don't drive a manual, that immediately narrows the roof-tent choices in Ring Rental's fleet.
- It is permitted on F-roads. You can add Highland roads to a summer itinerary, although F-road permission doesn't mean every route will suit this vehicle.
- The charging cable is not included. Although the Eclipse Cross is a plug-in hybrid, Ring Rental does not provide a cable, so plan to use it as a petrol vehicle during your rental.
When to Choose the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with Roof Tent
Summer: You can camp along the Ring Road and add Highland driving once the F-roads open. F35/Kjalvegur is the kind of more straightforward Highland route to consider with the Eclipse Cross rather than choosing the vehicle for routes involving more difficult terrain or river crossings.
Winter: We'd skip the roof tent for most winter trips. The standard Eclipse Cross gives you the automatic AWD vehicle without making outdoor sleeping part of your January itinerary.
Spring and autumn: Cold nights and less predictable Highland access become part of the decision. If your dates fall close to the beginning or end of the F-road season, check road.is rather than assuming a particular Highland route will be open.
Luggage Space in the Eclipse Cross with Roof Tent
The Eclipse Cross carries four bags, compared with five in Ring Rental's Dacia Duster and Jeep Renegade roof-tent vehicles. For two people, that may be plenty. But roof-tent trips tend to involve more than a suitcase: hiking boots, jackets, food, and camping gear all have to go somewhere too.
If you travel light, the difference may not matter. If both of you arrive with large hard-shell cases and a pile of outdoor gear, look carefully at the Jeep or Duster before deciding.
Not the Right Car If…
You want to charge a plug-in hybrid during the trip. Ring Rental doesn't provide a charging cable, so plan on using the Eclipse Cross as a petrol vehicle.
- You pack heavily. Four bags sounds generous for two people until camping and hiking gear start filling more space. The Jeep Renegade and Dacia Duster roof-tent vehicles each carry five bags.
- More than two people need beds. The Eclipse Cross seats five, but its James Baroud roof tent sleeps two. The Maxus T-60 + iKamper is Ring Rental's roof-tent option for up to four sleepers.
- Your itinerary centres on particularly demanding Highland roads. The Eclipse Cross is permitted on F-roads, but permission and suitability aren't the same thing. Choose the vehicle around the actual roads you intend to drive.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many people can sleep in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross roof tent?
-
Two. The James Baroud roof tent has a 125 × 210 cm sleeping area. Although the Eclipse Cross itself seats five, this is a two-person camping rental. If more than two people need somewhere to sleep, look at the Maxus T-60 + iKamper or one of Ring Rental's campervans.
- Can I drive the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with Roof Tent on F-roads?
-
Yes. Ring Rental permits the Eclipse Cross on Iceland's F-roads except F-249. Check the exact route and current conditions before setting out.
- Does the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross come with a charging cable?
-
No. Ring Rental does not provide a charging cable with the Eclipse Cross. Although it's a plug-in hybrid, plan to use it as a petrol vehicle during your rental. If being able to charge the vehicle is important to you, this particular rental won't give you what you're looking for.
- Should I choose the Eclipse Cross or Jeep Renegade with Roof Tent?
-
The Jeep is the better choice if luggage space is the deciding factor: Ring Rental lists five bags for the Renegade and four for the Eclipse Cross. Both are automatic 4x4 roof-tent vehicles that sleep two. The Eclipse Cross is a plug-in hybrid, but remember that Ring doesn't provide its charging cable.
The Eclipse Cross works well for two people who pack reasonably light, want an automatic, and plan to mix camping with some Highland driving. Just don't choose it because you expect to plug in along the way since it won’t come with a charging cable.
