Norway registered 11,138 new passenger cars in October. That represents a 3.6 percent decrease compared to the same month last year. Sales also dropped 22.3 percent from September figures. The data comes from official traffic statistics.
Electric vehicles dominated the market with 97.4 percent of all new registrations. This continues Norway's strong push toward electrification.
Volkswagen claimed the top spot as the best-selling car brand. Volvo followed in second position, with BMW taking third place. Tesla secured fourth position in the Norwegian market.
This sales slowdown comes despite Norway's generous electric vehicle incentives. The country offers tax exemptions and other benefits to EV buyers. Some analysts suggest market saturation may be affecting growth rates.
