Norway February 2026: Tesla and Model Y back in charge, Xpeng G9 up to #5

9 March 2026 at 06:59

The Xpeng G9 is up to a record 5th place in February.

The Norwegian new car market is starting to recover from its early year hangover due to an increase in the list of models with 25% VAT rates. February volumes are down -18.7% to 7,272 vs. -76.3% in January. The year-to-date tally is now down -48.1% to 9,490. BEV sales are down -15.9% to 7,127 units, resulting in a 98% market share vs. 94.7% a year ago in February 2025. PHEV sales are down -66.2% to 46 and 0.6%, HEVs down -87% to 20 units and 0.3%, petrol is at 0.2% share and diesel at 0.9%. Year-to-date, BEVs are off -47.2% to 9,211 and 97.1% share.

Tesla (+32%) impresses with a market-defying surge to 16.6% share and also reclaims the year-to-date top spot with sales off -19.5% to 13.6% share. Toyota (+25.8%) also goes against the grain with 12.9% of the market vs. 13% so far this year. In contrast Volkswagen (-52.7%) is in freefall in third place with 8.6% share. Volvo (-5.8%) resists better than the market and climbs three ranks on last month to #4, with Skoda (+36.5%) excelling and rounding out the Top 5. Other great performers include Xpeng (+91.1%), MG (+54.5%), Ford (+33.9%) and Peugeot (+25.8%). Deepal (#13) confirms its strong start in Norway.

Over in the models charts, here too the traditional leader, the Tesla Model Y (+77.6%) is back in charge with 14.8% of the market. The Toyota bZ4X (-10.5%) repeats at #2 above the Volvo EX40 (+176%) up 13 spots on January to #4. The new Toyota Urban Cruiser, a rebadged Suzuki e Vitara, ranks at a world best #4 and is #3 year-to-date. The Xpeng G9 (+345.6%) breaks its Norwegian ranking record at #5 with 3.5% share vs. a previous best of #8 in November 2023. The Skoda Elroq (+439.5%) and Enyaq (+23%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10 while the Deepal S05 scores a second consecutive Top 10 finish at #10.

Previous month: Norway January 2026: VW ID.3 in the lead, Deepal S05 #5 in devastated market (-76.3%)

One year ago: Norway February 2025: Nissan Ariya signs first ever win, Tesla down -48.4%
