The Norwegian new car market is up 5% year-on-year in November to 13.194 registrations, lifting the year-to-date tally up 2.5% to 141.001. Volkswagen remains market leader with 16% share but drops 10% year-on-year, whereas BMW surges 78% to 2nd place with 1.663 sales and 12.6%. This fantastic performance by the German luxury brand has a lot to do with the coming of age of the electric i3. After 31 consecutive months in pole position and for the first time since March 2014 when the Tesla Model S was the best-seller in Norway, the VW Golf isn’t in the top spot. Instead, the BMW i3, up a fantastic 246% year-on-year, snap the highest ranking in the country, and lead a monthly sales charts for the very first time in the world.
