Good start of the year for the Norwegian market, up 7% in January at 10,372 registrations. No surprise on top, the VW Golf is #1 with 637 sales and 6.1%, ahead of the Toyota Avensis at 414 sales and 4% and the Toyota Auris at 409 sales and 3.9%. The Nissan Qashqai is 4th followed by the VW Polo.

This month’s best performance goes to the Mitsubishi ASX: the small Japanese SUV is 11th with 202 sales and 1.9%, missing the Top 10 by only 1 unit! Norway should in all likeliness be its best market in the world. Full Top 20 Ranking Table below.
