The BMW iX3 hits a record ranking for the nameplate.

11,098 new cars hit Norwegian roads in April, a small -1.7% year-on-year decline. The year-to-date tally is now down -10.7% to 38,273. BEVs are up 0.1% to 10,952 and reach a new record share at 98.7%, eclipsing its previous best of 98.4% hit just last month. Year-to-date BEV sales are down -5% to 37,569 and 98.2% share. For the month, petrol is at 31 sales and 0.3% share, diesel at 87 and 0.8%, PHEVs at 25 and 0.2% share HEVs at 8 and 0.1% share. 

Volkswagen (-23.5%) is the most popular brand in the country in April and for the 2nd time this year after January. The German carmaker is at 15.6% share vs. 10.6% YTD. It is followed by a surging Toyota (+66.4%) at 12.8% share vs. 10.8% so far this year. Faraway leader YTD, Tesla crashes -61.2% to #11, going from 6,150 sales in March to just 379 in April, confirming its end of quarter backloading. Peugeot (+150.6%), Mercedes (+48.1%), Xpeng (+40.8%) and BYD (+26.8%) all shine in the remainder of the Top 10.

Over in the models charts, the VW ID.4 (+7.9%) is up five spots on last month to take the lead for the first time since July 2024. It distances the new Toyota Urban Cruiser, a rebadged Suzuki e Vitara, up six ranks to a record 2nd place. The VW ID.3 (-12.4%) follows ahead of the BMW iX3 (+4000%) boosted by the new generation to #7, an all time high ranking for the nameplate, beating its previous best of #7 treated back in July 2021. The Toyota bZ4X (-40.3%) and new C-HR+ round out the Top 5. The Tesla Model Y (-62.5%) plunges to #9 but remains by far the #1 YTD model at 15% share.
