There has clearly been a shift in the new car market in recent years. A quick peek in the Norwegian Road registration statistics (as at November 2013) tells us that SUVs and compact class cars (Golf-class) are increasing in popularity, while the interest of the middle class cars (Passat, Avensis, etc.) decreases.
VW Golf is the most selling car with over 6900 sold so far this year. Toyota Auris follows in second place with 4,500 sold, while 4,200 Norwegians have been tempted by SUV Mazda CX-5. It stands fourth.
Bestsellers mellomklassebil Skoda Octavia seventh (3278 sold), followed by the VW Passat on the eleventh (2818 sold).

Perhaps most importantly, is going on under the hood. More and significantly better environmental cars have been conservative Norwegians to choose again. At the moment electric Nissan Leaf the third best-selling car in 2013, while the Tesla Model S have been among the best selling past three months.
Things In other words, not quite as they were. And by all accounts, it continues in the same direction in the years to come.

A3 e-tron coming summer. Expected price is around 300 000.
BMW i8
BMW i8 is also a rechargeable hybrid, where much of the technique comes from the small electric cars like the BMW i3 launching. i8 is a sports car, and performance is not the pushover.

Declared consumption is 0.25 l / mil. High price range.
BMW X4
BMW is launching several new models next year including 2 Series, M3 and M4, and it will also be talking about a 4-Series Gran Coupe.

It looks like a smaller version of the BMW X6 denigrated and work and retrieve platform and lines from the X3 and 3 Series GT.
Ford Ecosport
OPET 2014 Ford also comes with a brand new small SUV called the EcoSport. Like other Ford models can also EcoSport is available with Ford’s new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine.

The powertrain is the same in the Mondeo hybrid, but without rechargeable battery. Here is the objective that the European version will come under 0.45 l / mil in the EU mix.
Hybrid powertrain works fine, seamless power development and very easy to drive with automatic transmission. Besides accelerating the car apparently very well and we are looking forward to testing the new Mondeo when it shows up in Norway.

New is also the Mustang now comes with a four-cylinder, 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine with over 300 hp. Downsizing makes the Mustang one thus more adapted to the European market.

Mazda has neither released the information or images of the small sports car to be launched in 2014. MX-5 is a fantastic fun car, and the new are guaranteed at least the same compartment. Mazda has done a lot right in their latest models, so we eagerly await.
Lexus LF-NX
Currently we only put pictures of concept. The production model will what we know to be quite similar concept, but is likely to be somewhat less extreme in alignment than LF-NX concept.
Lexus Norway has high expectations for compact Lexus SUV and think it is a sales winner. What kind of engine model will have Lexus can not say much about, but the powertrain in the IS 300h gives a good idea.
Mercedes-Benz GLA

Skoda Yeti
Four years have passed since the Skoda launched their kompakt-SUV/crossover, Yeti. but at a time when SUV has sold like hot cakes, have not the sale of the Yeti been something to cheer for. Limited interior space and a somewhat peculiar appearance should probably take some of the blame for it.
In 2014 comes a new Yeti with a clearly more harmonious exterior. Space conditions, it appears that potential Yeti customers have to live with. But it is maybe okay for the Norwegian importer promises that the price reductions.
Skoda Octavia Scout
We do not know much about the Octavia Scout, but we know it is coming. We recently voted the best in class Octavia wagon, and we will believe Scout version is just as good.
Higher ground clearance and rugged offroad decoration makes the harsh and improve congestion. When it comes to Norway is uncertain.

Not exactly a very important car this either, it is not likely to make a big impression on the sales statistics, but the state as a fun car to drive is the greater.
Suzuki IV-4
Norgesbil is the term we tend to use when Suzuki presents a new car. The new SUV iv-4, we are tempted to do it again. Rumour would have it that the small SUV should first launched in 2015, but rumors on the vast internet suggests that it comes on the road in 2014.
